What We Fly: To help avoid the impact of South Sudan’s rainy 🌧️ season, many people move this time of year to the highlands to escape floods. ⛰️
The highlands however, are the natural habitat of hyenas and recent reports say that these animals have been attacking people near the city of Tonj.
As a result, several unvaccinated people have contracted rabies. This disease - which infects the brain and nervous system – is fatal without treatment. 🤒
In Deed And Truth Ministries (IDAT) is the only hospital in Tonj to stock the jab.
To boost stocks to treat and prevent further outbreaks, Mission Aviation Fellowship - South Sudan ’s Raphael Flach flew a consignment of the vaccine to IDAT. 💉
