Humanitarian agencies in South Sudan has warned against extreme floods situation, as the weather forecasts indicate more rain to come.
The Humanitarian also said the extreme floods could cause an outbreak of waterborne diseases and malaria, food insecurity and malnutrition.
Recall that the flooding has affected 11 million people in eight of the 10 states, while water levels in many areas are still on the rise, the East Africa reports.
Doctors without Borders (MSF) notes that this year’s floods have hit the people in Bentiu, the capital of Unity State, the hardest, while over 800,000 people across the country have been affected.
One of the residents, Johnson Gailuak, a 28-year-old man who was displaced by the floods said the continuous flooding ravages all their properties.
“When the floods came it destroyed everything. We had to leave our house. Now we are suffering because we don’t have the essentials like plastic sheets, clean water and food.
“My wish for the future is that the water levels subside so that people can go back to their homes and for my family to have enough food,” he said.
