South Sudanese healthcare facilities are still suffering from the effects of years of conflict in the country, and the ones in Greater Jonglei are no exceptions. With many of them lacking essential supplies ahead of the traditionally busy end-of-year holidays, peacekeepers from Ethiopia and South Korea serving with the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) decided to make a difference. At the Pariak Hospital, their South Korean colleagues were the ones bringing joy and supplies, including bed frames and wheelchairs. According to Geetha Pious, Head of the peacekeeping mission’s Field Office in the area, thoughtful gestures to assist the South Sudanese people are not limited to the festive season.
