Abstract

The aim of this paper is to analyze the joint work of UNMISS and the humanitarian agencies, highlighting the logistical obstacles, through literature review and documentary analysis. The civil war which has taken place in South Sudan, in the end of 2013, led the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) to create the so called Protection of Civilian sites (POC Sites) – internally displaced person camps which are located, for the first time in the History of UN, inside military bases of an UN peacekeeping mission. These camps, which had poor conditions, due to restriction of space, generated by the sharp inflow of displaced persons, has needed a substantial humanitarian logistical effort, in order to meet the demands, which had grown rapidly. Moreover, the POC sites demanded a huge level of cooperation and coordination among peacekeepers and the various humanitarian agents in the field, which brought together several lessons that can be used in peacekeeping missions, which may cope to similar crisis.
