During the reporting week, more IDPs have entered the UNMISS Site compared to exits. Entries accounted for 84% of the movements, and 84% of the entries were women and children. More than 90% of the new arrivals reported coming into the UNMISS site for security reasons. The trend analysis for the reporting week indicates a sharp increase starting on 21 July which may be attributed to the general food distribution that started on 20 July. Most of the entries are from outside Wau town, including 26% from Ngoku. Other locations in town where IDPs come from include Lokoloko, Hai Korgana Jedid, Hai Kosti, Hai Salam and Hai Daraja. 65% of the families who have entered in the UNMISS site have expressed their intention to stay for at least 4 to 6 months.
The exit movements (16% of the total in and out movements) included 25% men and 75% women and children. The major factor pushing families out of the POC is the uncomfortable and congested living conditions in the camp and preference to rejoining other family members outside. Most of the families are destined to locations within Wau town including Hai Salam, Lokoloko, Hai Kosti, Hai Bafra and Hai Kalavario. Nearly 80% of the households who left the UNMISS site have expressed their intention to return back at some point.
