More than 100,000 people have been displaced by “new deadly floods,” the UN refugee agency, UNHCR,\u00a0has said. Various parts of the country, including the Upper Nile and Unity states, have been inundated in recent weeks.<\/p>\n
The agency said the situation is expected to get worse in September and October and threatens to “cut off entire communities, exacerbate hunger and heighten protection risks, particularly for women and girls.” Recurrent floods have exacerbated the humanitarian crisis in the country caused by “underdevelopment, disasters, and conflict.”<\/p>\n
The agency’s representative in South Sudan, Marie-Helene Verney, said that “if the flooding continues, up to 400,000 people are likely to be displaced by the end of the year, exceeding flood displacement levels seen in 2024.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
