A child has died in Pochalla County in South Sudan’s Boma state due to lack of medicines last week, a local official said.
Pochalla Commissioner Jay Adingora Alual told Radio Tamazuj on Friday that the child died between Pochalla and Otalla areas due to lack of medicines on Tuesday.
He urged NGOs and government to provide healthcare services to the needy people in the area.
Pochalla County is a hard-to-reach area, forcing people to resort to travel by air, the main mode of transport.
