AI Summary:
Eight people, including five children, have died after walking for three hours in blistering heat to seek treatment for cholera in South Sudan’s eastern Jonglei state. US-funded transport service that took patients to hospital was also shut down due to a lack of funds, forcing the patients to walk for hours in nearly 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) heat to reach medical care. The United Kingdom-based global charity Save the Children revealed last month’s deaths on Wednesday. South Sudan’s government has admitted to widespread corruption but denies specific allegations of graft. Due to corruption concerns, humanitarian aid is mostly delivered through nongovernmental organisations. Save the Children’s budget for the country is expected to drop to $30m this year.
