Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The authorities in Mayom County of Unity State say there has been an increase in snake bites as severe floods continue being experienced in parts of the area.<\/p>\n

Jonglei, Unity, Upper Nile, Western and Northern Bahr el Ghazal are among the states the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA) considers the most flood-affected in the country.<\/p>\n

Last week, OCHA said there were over 8,000 people affected by flooding in areas along the Nile and Lol rivers and the Sudd marshlands since May.<\/p>\n

Dr. Talimat Mathiot Chan, the county health director at Mayom County Hospital, told radio Tamazuj on Thursday that over 400 snake bite cases were recorded in the area last month.<\/p>\n

Chan revealed that 200 other cases had also been registered in early November.<\/p>\n

\u201cLast month, we had like 400 cases of snake bites, and in the current month, we have 200 cases of snake bites,\u201d Chan said. \u201cWe have anti-venom, but we use it within the capacity of PHCC level. We don\u2019t take it to the PHCU level because at the PHCC level there are trained doctors.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added that inaccessibility due to flooding has hindered health officials from delivering the anti-venom to the healthcare units.<\/p>\n

Dr Chan, however, said no death cases have been recorded so far.<\/p>\n
