Cholera response continues in Mayom and Renk as regional BVD preparedness is sustained.

Key developments

The World Health Organization is maintaining cholera response activities in Mayom and Renk. Concurrently, preparedness measures for BVD are being sustained across 15 priority counties, particularly as the Democratic Republic of Congo reports a high number of cases and Kenya confirms its first imported case. Screening at points of entry along the western corridor is ongoing.

Key concerns

The regional spread of BVD poses a significant health security risk, requiring continuous monitoring and preparedness efforts. Funding for humanitarian operations remains well below requirements.

Humanitarian impact

Mental health support is highlighted as a critical area, with testimonies emphasizing the importance of lived experiences in advocating for mental wellbeing. The country continues to host a significant number of internally displaced persons and refugees.

Information gaps

Specific details on the impact of cholera on affected populations and the current status of BVD cases within South Sudan are not yet covered in recent reporting.
