Massive displacement in Jonglei

2 July 2017. Padding: Nyachiang Dual (25) recovers from a suspected cholera infection in a relative house in Padding, Jonglei, South Sudan, on July 2, 2017.

Fighting between Government and opposition forces last April in several villages in Jonglei pushed thousands of civilians to be displaced in Padding and Lankien, both still under opposition control. The massive displacement, that duplicated the population, brought an outbreak of cholera and a serious need of health assistance, drinking water and food distribution among the population, according to the local leaders.
