Description: A cholera outbreak is threatening South Sudan's children in the latest blow to a country already teetering on the brink of all-out crisis amid incessant fighting and mass displacement, the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) has reported. Eighteen people, including two children under the age of five, have already died from the disease with the first case reported on 27 May in Juba, the young nation's capital.
