About 100,000 people could lose access to health care at the Sudan-South Sudan border if funding shortages force the Wunthou crossing clinic to close, the UN said Nov. 5, citing the International Organization for Migration.
The facility risks shutting by December without urgent support, the UN said. It said the clinic was still providing more than 1,000 outpatient consultations a week. Closure was a warning, not an event the agency said had already occurred.
