OVERVIEWIn January 2018, there was a reduction in the number of humanitarian access incidents reported (66) compared with December 2017 (111). However, the impact on humanitarian operations was substantial, due to relocations of aid workers, suspension of operations, restriction of movement and interference in operations in multiple locations. Thirty-one per cent of the incidents were attributed to state security forces compared to 44 per cent in December 2017, while 7 per cent were attributed to non-state armed actors. The number of incidents attributed to criminals/unknown (34 per cent) increased compared to 19 per cent in December 2017 - coupled with an increase in violence against humanitarian assets. The number of incidents nationally is consistent with the same period in 2017 and 2016. IMPACTSeven aid workers were relocated from Koch and Leer (Unity) due to armed clashes. The relocation forced the temporary suspension of food assistance, nutrition, health care, non-food items as well as education services. In Bentiu, nutrition response was disrupted after a group of youth forced the closure of a nutrition centre, affecting provision of assistance to nearly 540 children under 5 and pregnant/lactating mothers. In January, transporters ferrying humanitarian goods from Juba to Bentiu reported an increase in checkpoints from 66 in December to 105 in January, paying approximately US$ 1,400 in fees. Opposition authorities in Ulang (Upper Nile) ordered aid agencies to register at a fee of US$500 per organization, and demanded taxes for national and international aid workers. Affected humanitarian agencies aim to serve more than 71,000 people in Ulang and Nasir counties.
