During the months of July and August, floods affected more than 33,000 people and destroyed crop fields in many parts of the country. The Disaster Response Management and Food Security Sector (DRMFSS) issued its revised flood alert on 9 September to scale-up preparedness and prevention activities in risk areas. On 18 August, the Emergency Nutrition Coordination Unit (ENCU) updated the hotspot woredas list to reflect the changing situation. Compared to the April hotspot list, the number of priority one woredas increased by 64.6 per cent from 76 to 125, indicating a deteriorating humanitarian situation. Between January and June 2014, a total of 125,755 children with severe acute malnutrition (SAM) were admitted into the Community Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) programme. Compared to same period last year (2013), the current admissions are less by 10.6 per cent. As of 4 September 2014, more than 188,700 South Sudanese refugees have arrived in Ethiopia. UNICEF continues to support the South Sudan refugees and vulnerable host communities by provision of basic social services and through the secondment of WASH, Child Protection, Heath, Nutrition and Education specialists to UNHCR in Gambella to support the coordination of sectoral emergency response.
