UN and partners strengthen Ebola preparedness in South Sudan border town

Humanitarian organizations in South Sudan warn of a growing risk of Ebola spreading from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), where over 5,500 cases have been confirmed. As the outbreak moves closer to the shared border, health workers and UN-supported teams are implementing measures to screen travelers and educate local communities in Ezo, Western Equatoria State. The region faces challenges due to frequent cross-border movement, weak surveillance, and limited healthcare resources. Teams from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the UN Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) are collaborating to improve public awareness, train health workers, and ensure safe operations amid ongoing security assessments. The situation highlights the delicate balance between preventing the virus and maintaining essential cross-border economic activities.
