JUBA, Jan. 5 (Xinhua) -- The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) on Monday handed over the first consignment of a total of 9.5 million long-lasting insecticidal mosquito nets to support South Sudan's upcoming malaria prevention campaign.
Ismail Kamil, deputy country representative for UNICEF in South Sudan, said the nets were donated by the Against Malaria Foundation, a charity that saves lives by distributing insecticide-treated mosquito nets in malaria-prone regions, and shipped through UNICEF's Supply Division and its South Sudan Office, with support from development partners.
