The South Sudan Red Cross says it has trained over 450 volunteers to help raise public awareness about Cholera.

Red Cross’ Veronica Kenyi told Eye Radio they plan to train more volunteers.

The volunteers cover areas of Gudele, Gurey and Lologo.

The areas include Gumbo, Bor, Yei, Malakal, Wau Shilluk, Renk, Lainya, Terekaka, Mangala, Waat, Awerial, Magwi, Nimule and Torit.
