Context A political crisis within the Government of South Sudan (GoSS) which began on 15th December 2013 has spilled over into armed conflict based on ethnic divisions.

The major newly reported concentrations of displaced people are in Central Equatoria, Lakes, Jonglei, Upper Nile and Unity states.
