Health and hygiene situations remain unsafe at refugee camps in Upper Nile State since the outbreak of Hepatitis E and the continued risk of cholera and other waterborne diseases.

The UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) said efforts to control the Hepatitis E outbreak will need to continue for several weeks to minimize risks associated with the rainy season and flooding.

UNOCHA said the surveillance for all diseases outbreak continue with regular sample collection for further analysis in Nairobi.

Domestic animals around the camps and poor hygiene and sanitation practices are also risks that impact on vulnerable people.
