Refugees killed by hepatitis E outbreak in South Sudan camps
An outbreak of hepatitis E has killed about 90 refugees in South Sudan refugee camps near Sudanese border, an aid agency has said.
- Up to 200,000 people have fled to South Sudan after fighting broke out in Sudan’s border states of South Kordofan and Blue Nile.
- About 4,000 cases of the viral infection have been reported since the outbreak was first discovered 7 months ago, said Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF).
- “More than 112,000 Sudanese refugees live in camps affected by the hepatitis outbreak which are flooded in the rainy season and a parched wasteland in the dry season, MSF said.”
- More than 80 percent of the refugees are women and children, according to UNHCR.
- Hepatitis E is a liver infection caused by the hepatitis E virus (HEV). The virus is primarily transmitted by the fecal-oral route, mostly through consumption of contaminated water.
