In this case, ICRC staff and South Sudan Red Cross volunteers have set aside this structure for lactating mothers and persons with disabilities. In September, the ICRC provided food and essential household items such as soap, blankets, cooking utensils and mosquito nets to some 1,200 households of returnees in Kuajok, Warrap State.
