First cases of COVID-19 in camp for displaced in South Sudan spark fear
An estimated 182,000 people have sought refuge in South Sudan’s Protection of Civilians (POC) sites, out of its 1.5 million internally displaced population. The rest have settled in camp-like settlements and other similar areas. At least 80 percent are in dire need of humanitarian assistance to survive and children comprise an estimated 54 percent of the total displaced population.
