Four Years of Flooding in South Sudan #AfricaClimateCrisis

Climate change is wreaking havoc on Africa. Aid agencies are struggling toprovide assistanceto millions of people suffering from four years of devastating drought in the Horn of Africa, while South Sudan is dealing with the impact of four years of historic flooding.

The United Nations refugee agency says that South Sudanese flood victims are in desperate need of international support. The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs says flooding has inundated nine of the country's 10 states, including oil-rich Unity, Warrap, Upper Nile, and Jonglei states. It says these states are sheltering hundreds of thousands of people fleeing conflict and weather.
