A new study has warned that nearly 2.5 million people in South Sudan are at high risk of severe flooding.
The warning comes during the closing a three-day programme organized by the Sudd Wetlands, recently in Juba. According to the report, the most affected states are Jonglei, Lakes, Unity, Upper Nile, and Warrap.
Speaking at the event, the Acting Undersecretary in the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, David Batali, confirmed the findings.
Professor Julia Duany noted that flooding has worsened infrastructure damage, health conditions, and food insecurity across the affected regions.
