Massive displacement in Jonglei

4 July 2017. Padding: A displaced woman shows wild leaves collected outside Padding, Jonglei, South Sudan, where she currently lives.

Fighting between Government and opposition forces last April pushed thousands of civilians to displace to Padding and Lankien, both still under opposition control. The massive displacement, that duplicated the population, brought an outbreak of cholera and a serious need of health assistance, drinking water and food distribution among the population, according to the local leaders.
