AJS/Hepatitis E cases and 128 related deaths were reported since the beginning of the outbreak in the
refugee camps in Maban and Paring Counties, Upper Nile and Unity States respectively. Yusuf Batil
camp is still reporting increased number of AJS/HEV cases and deaths since epidemiological week 48 in

weeks. UNHCR together with health and WASH partners are taking steps to contain the surge of the
AJS/HEV cases in all camps by scaling up the sanitation and hygiene interventions to address gaps
identified in the earlier assessment done by partners.
