Countries: South Sudan, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda Source: World Health Organization Please refer to the attached file. PRIORITY ACTIONS ▸ Operationalize the Tier 1A/1B/1C area-based readiness package; close the readiness loop across all 15 counties; maintain 12/15 officer reach; monitor the 500+ DRC returnees through Nabanga PoE (Ibba) with heightened surveillance. ▸ Sustain cholera response in Rubkona, Mayom and Renk; ICG OCV request for Renk declined — Rubkona CTC downgraded to CTU as caseload declines. ▸ Investigate and respond to active measles outbreaks (Tonj North, Aweil South); complete NID R1 readiness (target: 13–16 Oct). ▸ Scale up malaria response ahead of peak season; complete LLIN distribution (7.5M/9.5M, 79%); emergency LLIN distribution to Warrap State IDPs. ▸ Restore health services in Akobo — facilities still constrained by insecurity and supply gaps. Scale up emergency response in Warrap State per IRNA (210,000 IDPs, 5 counties).
