There are no improved sanitation facilities in the area and the population has no access to a primary health care facility. New Bongo and the surrounding areas have an estimated population of 11,000. Following the assessment missions, an oral rehydration point has been set up by HLSS; bucket chlorination has been initiated; plans are underway to repair the borehole; a roadshow is planned in the area; and a reactive vaccination campaign using oral cholera vaccines will be implemented on 23 and 24 November 2017.

The most affected counties include Ayod, Tonj East, Yirol East, Fashoda, Kapoeta East, and Kapoeta South (Figure 6). § The most affected populations in these locations include: Landing sites/ towns along River Nile; cattle camp dwellers; populations living on islands - no social services; and IDPs - recently displaced with inadequate access to WASH. 4 Fig.7|ChOlera cases fatality rate (%) by cOunty in SOuth Sudan, 2016 and 2017 Yirol West 0.0% Yirol East 0.0% 4.5% Tonj North 0.0% Tonj East 2.5% Terekeka 33.3% Rubkona 1.1% Renk Panyijiar 2.9% 7.0% Nyirol 2.8% Mayom 44.4% Mayendit 1.5%3. 1% Malakal 2017 2016 Magwi 3.4% Leer 3.2% Kapoeta … 1.0% Kapoeta … 0.1% Kapoeta East 1.2% Juba 0.8% 1.5% Fashoda 1.6% Fangak 0.8% 0.8% Duk 6.2% 8.7% Canal Pigi 3.0% 9.6% Budi 2.1% Bor 3.0% Ayod 1.0% Awerial 1.1% 1.1% 0% 5% 10% 15% 20% 25% 30% 35% 40% 45% 50% cholera case fatality rate - CFR [%] Cholera case fatality rates were highest in counties with poor access to health care especially in populations living in the islands and cattle camps (Figure 7). Overall, a higher proportion of females (51.8%) are affected than males (47.6%). Children and young adults are more affected. Figure 8 shows the age and sex distribution of cases. There are no significant sex differences after adjusting for age (marginally higher number of cases in females).

The highest transmission peaks were associated with outbreaks that affected cattle camps in the following counties – Awerial, Yirol East, Duk, Bor, Uror, Ayod, Kapoeta East, Kapoeta South, and Kapoeta North. The same locations also reported high CFR due to poor access to health care especially at the onset of the outbreak As seen in Table 2, cholera cases have been confirmed every year since the onset of the South Sudan crisis in 2013. The 2016/17 outbreak is the longest and largest in magnitude and geographical extent. Due to the protracted crisis, displacements, insecurity, and declining investment in WASH, access to safe drinking water and sanitation facilities has declined significantly. Access to improved sanitation facilities is less than 10% while access to safe drinking water from improved water sources is estimated at 60%.

  • South Sudan: Response Scale-Up for Highly Food Insecure Areas Situation Report No
    South Sudan: Response scale-up for highly food insecure areas Situation Report No. 8 As of 30 June 2021 This report is produced by OCHA South Sudan on behalf of the Inter-Cluster Coordination Group (ICCG). It covers the period from 1 to 30 June 2021. This will be the final situation report on the response scale-up. HIGHLIGHTS • In June, the Food Security and Livelihoods (FSL) Cluster partners reached more than 96,000 people with food assistance in the Greater Pibor Administrative Area (GPAA). This represents 94 per cent of the people targeted. To date, the FSL Cluster reached 1,000 households in the six priority 1 counties with main-season response support. • Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) Cluster partners reached 131,000 people with WASH/NFI kits and basic hygiene messaging in communities with children who have high global acute malnutrition (GAM) and/or high incidence of diarrheal diseases. This represents 75 per cent of the people targeted. Eight water points were rehabilitated in nutrition facilities and 11 were rehabilitated in the six priority counties. • The Health Cluster provided consultations for 32,847 people in the six priority 1 counties in June. Trainings in comprehensive management of rape cases, integrated disease surveillance and response system were provided. • Nutrition partners treated 3,360 children with severe acute malnutrition (SAM), 8,942 children with moderate acute malnutrition (MAM) and 8,749 acute malnourished pregnant and lactating women (AM-PLW) in the six priority 1 counties during the reporting period. Prepositioning of nutrition supplies is ongoing. Funding shortages limit the ability to provide sufficient nutrition programme coverage to reach people in remote areas.
