Authorities in Wurool County, Jonglei State, have called for intervention to address the shortage of clean water in the area.
County Commissioner James Gatkhor Gatluak told Radio Tamazuj that the lack of water has made the already dire health situation worse.
“Of the more than 300 wells in the county, 80 have broken and another 27 have dried up. This is a problem for our local residents and livestock because there is not enough water,” he said.
“Uroor is the second most populous county after Bor with a population of 245,000, so we need to dig more wells and repair broken ones. This is our plea to aid agencies and well-wishers,” the commissioner said.
County Relief and Rehabilitation Committee (RRC) coordinator Gatwang Jokthiang Machar also called for intervention. He said they have been working with aid agencies to help repair dilapidated boreholes but needed help.
