John Dau Foundation Clinics Respond to Tragic Killings and Injured in Jonglei State, South Sudan, Providing Critical Care Amid Escalating Violence
The John Dau Foundation (JDF) expresses its deepest condolences to the families and communities affected by the recent devastating violence in Jonglei State, South Sudan as its healthcare works and clinics provide critical healthcare for those attacked. This week's brutal killings and severe wounding of men, women, and children are a stark reminder of the escalating conflict in the region, stemming from the ongoing attacks in Sudan and the vicious cycle of tribal violence in South Sudan.
John Dau Foundation is the only NGO managing health clinics in Kadiang, Koat, Koldiak, and Mareng, Jonglei State where the wounded have been transported for stabilization before they are taken to more equipped hospitals for further treatment. Made possible with generous support from the USAID/BHA, UNICEF, WFP, and Tearfund.
"We are deeply concerned about the recent escalation of violence in Sudan and South Sudan, and are doing everything we can to provide care and support to those affected," said John Dau, Founder of the John Dau Foundation. "Our clinic is working hard to provide basic healthcare services to everyone who needs it, and we are committed to continuing our work to improve the lives of the people of South Sudan, yet we need additional support to provide this critical aid as our clinics and staff are running low on resources due to our rapid response."
In response to this tragedy, JDF clinics have mobilized all available resources to provide emergency care for the injured. Our dedicated team of healthcare professionals are working tirelessly to attend to the needs of the wounded, delivering crucial medical treatment and support services in these trying times. As the situation continues to evolve, we remain committed to serving the affected communities and offering hope in the face of adversity.
