HLSS Emergency Response in Old Fangak, Standing Strong Amidst the Floods:
As the country continues to struggle with the effects of the devastating floods over the years, the situation has become worse in Old Fangak. The Nile and Al Zeraf rivers have burst their banks once again, submerging homes, crops, and health facilities, exacerbating the health care needs. Residents are stranded, seeking shelter around Paguir PHCU with nothing other than clothing on their backs. Expectant and breastfeeding mothers with their children are particularly affected, facing brunt of the floods with extreme destitution.
With funding support from UNFPA South Sudan, dedicated HLSS professional emergency team continues to deliver life-saving Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) services at the overwhelmed and strained Paguir PHCU, with an average daily attendance of 40. HLSS further supports rescue missions to relocate stranded families to safety.
HLSS is committed to providing lifesaving health care services to the population in need, wherever they are, regardless of challenges.
