By late August, over 445,000 people were newly displaced within South Sudan, primarily in Jonglei, Upper Nile, and Lakes states. The country also experienced an influx of more than 1.4 million refugees and returnees from Sudan, further straining local resources and services.

The significant number of refugees and returnees from Sudan is placing additional pressure on already limited basic services and host communities. Severe food insecurity and acute malnutrition remain persistent issues across the country.

The population is experiencing widespread displacement, with hundreds of thousands newly uprooted. The arrival of over a million individuals from Sudan has intensified pressure on existing infrastructure and humanitarian aid provision.

The specific needs and vulnerabilities of the newly displaced populations and the impact on different demographic groups are not detailed.
