Four cases were registered among South Sudanese within the town and seven
others among refugees fleeing violence to neighboring Uganda, according to
Amoko Simon, Pageri County Health Director.

“Some of the patients came from Elegu [a Ugandan border town] and others
are from here [Nimule],” said Amoko, confirming that laboratory analysis in
Juba has confirmed cholera.

Other cases of cholera have been confirmed in various parts of the country
including Juba, Duk in Jonglei state and Terekeka county in the newly
created Terekeka state.

The new cases in Nimule are the first to be confirmed in southern parts of
the country. Most of the patients are children and women.

Amoko said a special centre has been erected for cases of cholera in Nimule.
