Ebola preparedness activities are underway in Western Equatoria, focusing on border areas with the Democratic Republic of Congo. The United Nations Humanitarian Air Service (UNHAS) transported over 4,000 passengers for 150 organizations in September, ensuring access to remote locations. The World Food Programme (WFP) assisted 1.88 million people in August, reaching 77 percent of its targeted crisis-affected population.

Nutrition remains a critical concern, with global acute malnutrition rates significantly exceeding emergency thresholds in Akoka and Guit counties. Humanitarian funding remains well below requirements, potentially impacting response capacity.

Over 520,000 people are internally displaced, and more than 3,600 refugees are present in the country. A substantial portion of the crisis-affected population received food assistance in August, though a significant gap remains.

The specific challenges and successes of the Ebola preparedness efforts beyond general activities are not detailed.
