Malnutrition cases on the rise in Jur River

Wau Teaching Hospital in South Sudan’s Wau State has recorded an increase in the number of malnutrition cases among children in Jur River County, a medical official said.

The source, who preferred anonymity, told Radio Tamazuj on Thursday that the number of malnutrition cases admitted to the hospital this month could reach 45, saying the malnourished children are among displaced families from Jur River County.

Dozens of civilians were killed and thousands displaced from Jur River County after attacks by herders from Tonj State last month.
