South Sudan Situation: UNHCR External Update #2 (July 2025)

Highlights

Ongoing political tension and localized conflict has triggered large-scale displacement both within South Sudan and across its borders. According to IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM), approximately 200,000 people have been newly displaced internally in South Sudan.

Since the start of the conflict, some 149,000 people have sought refuge in neighboring countries, including an estimated 30,000 in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), 35,000 in Ethiopia, 60,000 in Sudan, and 24,000 in Uganda.

Heavy rainfall continues to impact site preparation activities at Luakdong in Ethiopia’s Gambella region, causing delays and slowing progress.
