The United Nations is stepping up its efforts to support approximately 2.4 million people in South Sudan who have been affected by devastating floods since September. According to the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), these floods are anticipated to be the worst the region has seen in six decades.
OCHA, along with its partners, is collaborating closely with the South Sudanese government to bolster preparations and response strategies. The assistance being provided includes vital health and nutrition services, shelter, and food aid aimed at those displaced by the floods.
\"To do this and to meet the needs of new arrivals fleeing the conflict in Sudan, more funding for the humanitarian response in South Sudan is urgently needed,\" stated OCHA. The call highlights the escalating humanitarian needs amidst ongoing conflicts and natural disasters in the region.
As the situation evolves, the UN remains committed to delivering essential support to ensure the well-being and resilience of South Sudanese communities facing these unprecedented challenges.
