In April, 33 reported incidents impacted humanitarian access. Of these, 14 involved violence against humanitarian assets and personnel, nine related to bureaucratic access impediments, and four involved restrictions of movement.
The states of Upper Nile, Jonglei, and Lakes faced the most challenges related to access, with 16 incidents recorded in Upper Nile and five incidents recorded in both Jonglei and Lakes.
Upper Nile State was particularly affected, with nine of the 14 incidents of violence documented here. These incidents included looting and theft of aid items, damage to humanitarian assets, and armed forces looting fuel from UN-contracted boats on two occasions in Fashoda. An attempted fuel looting case in Panyikang County further exacerbated the situation, hindering the delivery of humanitarian aid to remote areas before the onset of the rainy season.
Eight incidents involved community members, including threats, restriction of movement, interference in beneficiary selection, and theft of assets. The surge in community involvement in access incidents is mainly attributed to delays in the distribution of aid, the current economic crisis, and the demand for more assistance.
Bureaucratic access impediments included challenges with travel documents, excessive paperwork and traffic regulations leading to demands for bribes, interference in the staff recruitment process, harassment, and temporary detention of humanitarian workers.
