An estimated 100 thousand people still have dangerously inadequate access to emergency medical care in Pibor County of Jonglei state.
Médecins Sans Frontières or MSF Emergency Coordinator Katrin Kisswani in a statement said their mobile clinics treated more than 700 people in southern Pibor bush mostly suffering from respiratory tract infections, and malaria.
She said ‘right now we are treating about 100 patients a day and we expect this to increase. Since19th July, a few ‚Äì almost all women and children ‚Äì have arrived with wounds that are clearly many days old.’
Ms Kisswani said more than 25 thousand people started arriving at another MSF clinic in Gumuruk with almost nothing but many patients said they are still too afraid to return to towns.
She said aid agencies were unable to cover their most basic needs.
The Coordinator urged all parties to respect and facilitate the deployment of humanitarian aid to those in need across Jonglei State.
