More than 2.3 million people have fled their homes in South Sudan since fighting broke out in December 2013, with over 1.69 million displaced inside South Sudan and 633,820 who have fled as refugees to neighbouring countries. There are now nearly 193,800 people sheltering in Protection of Civilians (PoC) sites in United Nations bases, with Bentiu PoC site alone hosting nearly 115,000 people.

Despite the many challenges, about 4.4 million people had been reached with humanitarian assistance by the end of November.
