Dozens dead after South Sudan floods – government
South Sudan’s government says some of the worst flooding in decades has left at least 100 people dead over the last three months.
The Humanitarian Affairs minister, Peter Mayen Majongdit, said conditions were still extremely bad with large numbers of families living on islands surrounded by water.
He said the deaths were as a result of the flooding itself and associated waterborne diseases.
South Sudan’s government says more than a million people have been affected.
It’s trying to move people to higher ground away from the floods.
The UN recently linked what it called the worst flooding since the 1960s with the climate emergency.
