DTM South Sudan: Event Tracking Report #77 (1 - 28 Feb 2025)
South Sudan is currently facing a severe humanitarian crisis characterized by extensive internal displacement. The underlying causes of these displacement dynamics are varied and include communal clashes, land disputes, insecurity, violence, natural disasters, and cross-border movements.
In February 2025, IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) tracked the displacement of 34,222 individuals, 56 per cent of whom were women and girls. The majority of displacements occurred in Magwi (14,829 individuals), Wau (7,127 individuals), Tonj North (4,725 individuals), Pibor (2,074 individuals), and Kapoeta East counties (2,000 individuals). The displacements were primarily instigated by localized conflicts and food insecurity. As a result, there has been a significant increase in urgent humanitarian needs among the affected population. Displaced individuals identified food, shelter, and nonfood items as their most pressing concerns.
The situation in South Sudan remains critical, as ongoing conflicts continue to exacerbate the humanitarian crisis. Immediate intervention is essential to address the urgent needs of those affected by displacement.
