South Sudan: displacement in Unity
With 120,000 people, Bentiu in Unity state is the most overcrowded of six UN protected sites where civilians have sought to escape violence and deprivation caused by the 19-month old conflict. Bentiu has recently seen a spike in malaria and malnutrition. The European Commission’s Humanitarian Aid and Civil Protection department (ECHO) supports various partners in Bentiu to improve the camp environment through basic services such as health care, water and sanitation. ECHO also provides financial support to emergency organisations who are trying to reach those who were not able to reach the displacement sites. Photo credits: EC/ECHO/Anouk Delafortrie
