Eight people, including five children, died in South Sudan after a three-hour walk for cholera treatment due to U.S. aid cuts that forced local health centers to close, ‘Save the Children’ reported. Over 90% of USAID contracts were canceled, threatening millions of lives. The U.S. State Department defended the cuts, citing corruption among South Sudan’s leaders. ‘Save the Children’ has supported 27 clinics, but most have shut down or reduced services. Cholera cases have surged past 22,000 since October. The country, already in crisis from conflict and disasters, faces worsening conditions with reduced international aid and growing civil unrest.
Jehovah Rapha, we pray for Your divine healing upon those suffering from the Cholera outbreak and other diseases in South Sudan. We pray for the South Sudanese people to have immediate access to healthcare and other essential resources when they need it (The Holy Bible, Jeremiah 33:6).
Almighty GOD, we pray for the divine provision of resources and sustained aid for all the people in need in South Sudan. We pray that no one, especially children, suffers for lack of healthcare, food, refuge, and other basic needs, in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ (The Holy Bible, John 14:14).
