Entry and exit for the period 1 Jul 31 December
A spike in new arrivals in November took place during November
when one third of total arrivals over the 6-month period took place.
The majority of people interviewed during the period cited renewed
fighting in the area, including insecurity in southern Unity, and
increasing food insecurity as their main reasons for entering the PoC.
Fighting, particularly in Leer, is likely to continue prompting people to
move to the Bentiu PoC site or more stable areas of Unity.
