Humanitarian access incidents continued in August, with 77 reported cases, over half of which involved violence against humanitarian personnel and assets. This insecurity led to the suspension of activities by one organization in Chemedi. Conflict in neighboring Sudan further complicates the humanitarian situation within South Sudan.

Funding shortfalls threaten life-saving assistance for refugees and other vulnerable populations. The ongoing violence against humanitarian operations, including robbery and harassment, impedes aid delivery and forces activity suspensions.

More than one million people face the loss of vital food and nutrition assistance. Conflict continues to drive new displacement, and returnees encounter significant gaps in basic services, exacerbating the severe humanitarian crisis characterized by extensive internal displacement.

Specific details on the types of basic services lacking for returnees are not yet covered in recent reporting.
