Conditions of protection: life inside or outside a displacement camp

The smell of sweet ginger coffee being prepared in a little tin hut manages to waft above the putrid smell of green sludge - it’s the smell of life going on. It lingers in the air, and somehow, just like the people here, manages to rise above the suffocating conditions of a Protection of Civilians site.

Since 2013, four million people have been displaced by conflict in South Sudan. Two million sought safety across borders, while another two million remain internally displaced. During some of the most extreme periods of violence, thousands of people fled in unprecedented numbers to existing United Nations (UN) bases for protection, and as the conflict extended, these bases transitioned into Protection of Civilians (PoC) sites and are guarded by forces from the UN Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS).
