The commissioner of Twic County of Jonglei state, Dau Akuei said cases of Malaria are on the rise due to heavy rains and flooding amidst a lack of medicine and health personnel.
Akuei told Radio Tamazuj on Wednesday that at least three people have died and more than 300 people are now admitted at the health facility suffering from Malaria. He added that more than 1,000 cases have been recorded at the county’s health facility since the beginning of September.
He noted that the health facility lacks medicine to treat the sick people, saying the rains have cut off the county from the state capital Bor.
