HealthThe hidden toll of treating the wounded in South Sudan

At Wau Teaching Hospital, medical workers are struggling with the psychological burden of treating a growing stream of conflict-related casualties. The ICRC says it evacuated 266 wounded patients across South Sudan in the first six months of 2026, over 50% more than a year earlier. Staff can access psychosocial counselling and recreational activities to relieve stress.
