The people in the rebel-controlled areas in South Sudan’s Blue Nile face a shortage of doctors and medicines.
The humanitarian officer in the camps for the displaced, El Simawi Adlan, told Radio Tamazuj that in particular the population in the areas of Yabus, Shali and Dakka is suffering from several illnesses.
Yellow fever has been recorded in these three areas. Malaria and typhoid and various other infections are rampant, according to the Sudanese humanitarian official.
“The Blue Nile displaced are facing a deteriorating humanitarian situation,” Adlan stressed.
He appealed to humanitarian organisations to urgently provide medical care and medicines to the needy people in Blue Nile state.
