The report found the hospital pharmacy running low on medicines, with no way to refill them.

It means the pharmacy had only a small amount of medicine left.

Malaria tablets were among the medicines running critically low, during the rainy season, when the report says there are more mosquitoes and infections.

It means there were very few tablets left, creating a serious shortage.

The International Organization for Migration, or IOM, says South Sudan faces several overlapping crises.

These are several serious problems happening at the same time and affecting one another.

Its 2026 response plan reports that, by mid-2025, more than 1.9 million people were displaced inside the country, and 2.3 million refugees were in neighboring countries.

Here, people were forced to leave their homes but remained inside their own country.

MSF says around 150,000 displaced people in the Bentiu and Malakal camps face cuts to basic water, sanitation, and primary health services.

These people were forced to leave their homes and are living in camps.

One donor-supported program, the Health Sector Transformation Programme, began in 2024.

The program receives money from donors, such as governments or organizations.

MSF says it was planned to support 816 health facilities, rather than the 1,158 first envisaged, after the United States and Sweden did not commit funding.

Here, it means the larger number of facilities that people first planned or expected to support.

MSF reports that in Northern Bahr el Ghazal, the number of functioning primary health-care centres and units fell from 131 to 63 by January 2026.

Here, it means clinics that were open and able to provide care.

At Aweil, MSF reports both rising hospital admissions and a decline in functioning primary-care facilities.

Here, it means facilities that are open and able to provide care.

The reporting from Aweil and Renk shows why both matter: hospitals are carrying heavy demands, while patients depend on medicines and functioning facilities.

Here, it means facilities that are open and able to provide care.

Admissions of children under five with severe acute malnutrition rose 47 percent, from 1,227 to 1,801.

It is a very serious condition in which a child does not get enough food or nutrients over a short time.

MSF warns that gaps in these services increase the risk of cholera and other waterborne disease.

A waterborne disease is an illness that people can catch from unsafe water.

It also plans to support referrals for severely ill patients, including malnourished children, and to strengthen local health workers and supply systems.

A referral is when a health worker sends a patient to another service or specialist for care.

A mobile team can respond to an outbreak or sudden arrival of people.

An outbreak is a sudden rise in cases of a disease.

If those services weaken, clinics may face more illness at the same time that medicine and staff are scarce.

It means there is not enough medicine and staff available.
