SOUTH SUDAN: IOM Appeals for $ 122 Million For The Displaced in the Country
The International Organization for Migration, IOM, has launched a South Sudan appeal on Tuesday to raise 122 million United States Dollars to support the Internally Displaced People (IDPs) and returnees.
“We need to support the people of South Sudan as the country pursues a peaceful and stable future. As the road to sustained peace is being paved, many familiar challenges persist,” said Jean-Philippe Chauzy, IOM South Sudan Chief of Mission.
In 2019, the IOM’s operations in South Sudan will aim at assisting the vulnerable people with essentials for life-saving.
“We will do so through an integrated community-owned approach with strong links between our humanitarian and recovery work, supporting the people of South Sudan to become more resilient,” said Chauzy.
The IOM Chief hopes they and the communities across South Sudan can count on donors’ much-needed support throughout what will be a defining year for the country.
The official disclosed that IOM has established offices in Juba, Wau, Bentiu, Malakal, Bor, Rumbek and the Abyei Administrative Area, as well as satellite responses sites in Magwi, Mayom, Kapoeta, Twic and Yei.
