Location: WFP main office compound, Juba, South Sudan

These images were taken yesterday and today, and show some of the estimated 3,000 people who have sought shelter in the WFP compound in Juba. The WFP office compound is located on the western edge of Juba, where some surrounding neighborhoods have seen heavy fighting over the last several days. Reports from other parts of the city indicate that more than 10,000 people have fled their homes in the latest round of fighting and are taking shelter in a number of locations around Juba.

People were continuing to arrive at the front gate, where their belongings are checked to be sure that no weapons or dangerous good are being brought inside. Some people have arrived with basic supplies – including food – or their most valued possessions, but others have arrived with nothing but the clothes on their backs.
