This is what climate risk looks like before it becomes a hunger crisis.
Withered crops, lost livelihoods and less food on the table. In #SouthSudan, the warning signs are already visible.
Investing in resilience reduces vulnerability and future humanitarian needs.

UPDATE @anderlukson: She has now undergone surgery. Her doctors say she may not be able to use the affected hand for six months, putting her education on hold until around May.
The family deserves answers.
St. Elizabeth Senior Secondary School-Nkoowe: What exactly happened after she went to the sick bay, and what action has been taken regarding the injection she reportedly received?

A CHILD WENT TO SCHOOL FOR AN EDUCATION, NOT TO COME HOME UNABLE TO WRITE.
An S3 student at St. Elizabeth SSS Nkowe reportedly went to the school sick bay unwell, received an injection and is now unable to write, out of school and at risk of missing her promotional exams.
This cannot simply pass without answers:
🔴Who treated her, and were they qualified?
🔴What was administered and why?
🔴What protocols govern injections in school sick bays?
🔴Who supervises school nurses?
🔴Was parental consent required or obtained?
🔴Has an independent medical assessment established what happened?
🔴Has the school formally reported and investigated the incident?
🔴Who should pay for her treatment and rehabilitation? and what arrangements are being made so she does not lose her education?
This is also the kind of health-accountability story Uganda's investigative reporters are actively being encouraged to pursue. @SolomonSerwanjj, for example, has publicly called for stronger investigative reporting on health-system issues.
@Educ_SportsUg, here is one ball in your court, because this incident is bigger than just this one child. It is about whether every child is safe when they seek medical help at school.
