Major surgical operations have been suspended at the Yei Civil Hospital and the blood bank has been closed due to fuel shortage, according to authorities in Yei River State. They say most of the patients who are in critical conditions and those who need major operations are now being referred to private clinics. The Director-General at the state Ministry of Health says insecurity has hindered the supply of fuel to the state. The blood bank was closed partly due to lack of donors. “So this blood bank at the moment has come to a standstill because there is no power and people who are supposed to donate blood are not there,” Eye Radio’s Daniel Friday reported. There have been reported incidents of insecurity in the area, with thousands of civilians fleeing to the neighboring areas. -- To post to this group, send email to southsudankob@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to southsudankob+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com Visit this group at https://groups.google.com/d/forum/southsudankob View this message at https://groups.google.com/d/msg/southsudankob/topic-id/message-id For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "South Sudan Info - The Kob" group.
