WESTERN BAHR EL GHAZAL - 18 JAN 2024
Unknown skin disease strikes Wau Central Prison
Dozens of inmates at the Wau Central Prison in Western Bahr el Ghazal State are suffering from an unknown disease outbreak.
On Wednesday, inmates at the facility who spoke to Radio Tamazuj said they have been suffering from the mysterious disease, characterized by itching and body pains, since December last year.
Deng Awan, one of the infected inmates, said he had been suffering from the disease without proper treatment since December 4th.
“I had rashes on my private parts, and they were itchy. This is a serious disease. I can’t sleep at night, and all my body is paining; it is itching, but when touched, the rashes burst into wounds,” he said.
Deng Ring Kuol, a fellow inmate, said he had unsuccessfully used a prescribed drug to cure the rashes on his body. “The drug that was given to me does not help; since I was given it, it is not doing anything; my body is all painting,” said Kuol.
Reached for comment, George Gabriel Gilo, the Director of the Wau Prison, confirmed the disease outbreak.
“For sure, this disease started with 15 to 16 inmates in November, and right now, some of them are still under treatment,” he said.
