Medicine Sans Frontiers or MSF accepted to provide emergency drugs to Nimule Hospital to rescue the facility from scarcity following increased number of patients due to influx of internally displace persons or IDPs to the area.
MSF South Sudan Emergency Coordinator Jordan David said the agency was ready to deliver drugs after receiving orders from the Hospital, Emmanuel Radio reported.
Mr David admitted that sanitation still remains a challenge due to lack of proper IDPs’ settlement.
He said MSF provided clean water to both the IDPs and the host community in order to avoid outbreak of water borne diseases.
The Coordinator said MSF found it difficult to provide infrastructure materials until the IDPs were allocated to a proper place.
He said MSF will give some essential non-food items after assessing the conditions of the IDPs.
Mr David urged the state government to speed up the process of relocating the IDPs to enable them get humanitarian aid.
