The case fatality rate stands at 2.4% (above the outbreak threshold of 1%). On 3 July, a major cholera outbreak alert was confirmed in Wau Shiluk (Upper Nile). Within a span of 72 hours, 246 suspected cases and seven deaths were recorded. Around 40,000 people in Wau Shiluk have little or no access to life saving health services or adequate sanitation facilities. The humanitarian community has deployed public health teams and contingency medical supplies to Wau Shiluk to respond to the emergency. In Bentiu, 15 suspected cases of cholera were reported at the Protection of Civilians (PoC) site as of 8 July. The humanitarian community continues to scale up efforts

WATER SANITATION AND HYGIENE
IOM is the Upper Nile focal point for water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) assistance covering Malakal, Melut, Wau Shiluk and Rom.
UNMISS PoCs in Upper Nile (Malakal and Melut) IOM is coordinating with WASH partners to ensure effective provision and access to safe drinking water, sanitation facilities and promoting good hygiene practices. WASH priorities are focused on cholera response in partnership with the Health cluster. A consolidated Cholera Response Plan for Upper Nile is being developed and will be shared among partners once completed.
UNMISS PoC, Bentiu Efforts are focused on augmenting WASH response at the Bentiu PoC, following the sudden population increase in June 2014. Upon the request of the WASH cluster, IOM has deployed a team to Bentiu to augment overall WASH response in the PoC.
