Ryan Spencer Reed: Sudan: The Cost Of Silence

A young woman mourns the death of her thirteen-year-old sister, who died from sleeping sickness. Every member of her family has the disease in one of its five stages; fatal when left untreated. With only 1,500 hospital beds serving nearly eight million southern Sudanese - most of whom are displaced - treatment for all who need it is impossible. The legacy of South Sudan's twenty-three-year war continues to cripple healthcare capabilities, leaving its people at the mercy of outside intervention. :: Ryan Spencer Reed
