00:00:23,359 –> 00:00:27,920
year flooding disaster took over homes, markets and cutoff lads,
8
00:00:27,960 –> 00:00:31,679
making it impassable to transport her to the affected victims.
9
00:00:32,439 –> 00:00:36,479
Halls and markets are in floodwaters, forcing people to seek
10
00:00:36,520 –> 00:00:41,119
shelter on higher ground. Community numbers in flood heat areas
11
00:00:41,159 –> 00:00:44,359
are coming together to scoop out water and construct dikes
12
00:00:44,359 –> 00:00:48,320
in response to rising water levels. Orchers teted in a tweet.
13
00:00:49,119 –> 00:00:52,679
Airfp HAD on March twenty twenty three reported that for
14
00:00:52,759 –> 00:00:57,000
the last four years, unprecedented flooding links to climate change,
15
00:00:57,039 –> 00:01:00,640
has turned almost two thoughts of South Sudan into one plant.
16
00:01:01,399 –> 00:01:05,079
The environmental catastrophe is most apparent in the city of
17
00:01:05,159 –> 00:01:09,239
Ventu in the northern part of the country. Local media
18
00:01:09,359 –> 00:01:14,599
stated the persistent flooding in Unity State, South Sudan has
19
00:01:14,719 –> 00:01:19,480
led to severe deforestation, with trees wilting after prolonged exposure
20
00:01:19,560 –> 00:01:24,879
to water, becoming firewood rather than driving ecosystems. Routers in
21
00:01:24,920 –> 00:01:28,519
August twenty eight, twenty twenty four, published a photograph of
22
00:01:28,519 –> 00:01:32,159
a survival who climbed a world with assistance following devastating
23
00:01:32,280 –> 00:01:37,519
floods in South Toka rein Sea State Sudan. Close watchers

27
00:01:50,439 –> 00:01:55,040
humanitarian supplies to some five hundred thousand people. There are
28
00:01:55,079 –> 00:01:58,480
concerns that the manly looming health crisis in the United

State South Sudit done as flood victims remain trapped after
30
00:02:02,920 –> 00:02:05,959
two weeks of heavy flooding and with rising water levels
31
00:02:06,319 –> 00:02:10,199
there maybe an increased risk of water bone diseases, exacerbating
32
00:02:10,240 –> 00:02:13,479
the plight of affected communities who struggle for access to
33
00:02:13,520 –> 00:02:18,520
clean water and medical care. AFP, reporting the recent observations
34
00:02:18,560 –> 00:02:22,759

35
00:02:22,840 –> 00:02:26,360

36
00:02:26,479 –> 00:02:29,680
and more than two hundred and forty one thousand displaced.
37
00:02:30,039 –> 00:02:33,319
The US Humanitarian Agency ORCHER said thus day in the
38
00:02:33,400 –> 00:02:37,319
grim object of the disaster, and agencies have warned that
39
00:02:37,439 –> 00:02:42,159
the world’s youngest country, highly vulnerable to climate change, is
40
00:02:42,240 –> 00:02:46,840
fasten its worst flooding in decades. Flooding continues to affect
41
00:02:46,960 –> 00:02:51,280
and displace people across the country. The United Nations Office
42
00:02:51,319 –> 00:02:54,879
for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said in a statement
43
00:02:55,800 –> 00:02:59,479
heavy rainfall and floods have rendered fifteen men supply roots
44
00:02:59,479 –> 00:03:04,840
sym passes, restricting physical access. ARCHER said about eight hundred
45
00:03:04,879 –> 00:03:08,240
and ninety three thousand people were flowed affected in forty
46
00:03:08,280 –> 00:03:11,319
two of South sudan seventy eight counties, as well as
47
00:03:11,319 –> 00:03:15,520
the Ambai Administrative Area, a disputed zone claimed by both
48
00:03:15,599 –> 00:03:19,520
Juba and Katu. It said unity and war up states
49
00:03:19,560 –> 00:03:22,000

50
00:03:22,039 –> 00:03:26,560
forty percent of the affected population. More than two hundred
51
00:03:26,599 –> 00:03:30,479
and forty one thousand people were displaced in sixteen counties
52
00:03:30,520 –> 00:03:35,080
and the Ambai Area seeking shelter on higher ground. ORCHA added.
53
00:03:35,960 –> 00:03:40,280
Since gaining independence from Sudan in twenty eleven, the world’s
54
00:03:40,319 –> 00:03:44,800
youngest nation has remained plagued by chronic instability, violence, and
55
00:03:44,879 –> 00:03:48,719
economic stagnation, as well as pligate disasters such as drought
56
00:03:48,800 –> 00:03:52,759
and floods. The World Bank said in an October First
57
00:03:52,879 –> 00:03:55,840
of Death that the latest floods were wasn’t in an
58
00:03:55,919 –> 00:04:01,680
already critical humanitarian situation marked by severe fuld insecurity, economic decline,
59
00:04:01,919 –> 00:04:07,159
continued conflict disease outbreaks, and the repercaussions of the Sudan conflict.
60
00:04:08,000 –> 00:04:11,199
The conflict in Sudan has seemed more than seven hundred
61
00:04:11,240 –> 00:04:14,639
and ninety seven thousand refugees pour into South Sudan as
62
00:04:14,680 –> 00:04:18,920
of September. The World Bank said, almost eighty percent of
63
00:04:18,959 –> 00:04:23,800
them South Sudanist returnees. The country also faces another period
64
00:04:23,879 –> 00:04:28,360
of political paralysis after the presidency announced yet another extension
65
00:04:28,439 –> 00:04:32,759
two a transitional period agreed in the twenty eighteen piece,
66
00:04:32,839 –> 00:04:36,519
due delay elections due to take place in December by
67
00:04:36,560 –> 00:04:42,040
another two years. Key provisions of the transitional agreement remain unfulfilled,
68
00:04:42,480 –> 00:04:46,000
including the creation of a constitution and the unification of
69
00:04:46,040 –> 00:04:49,759
the rival forces of President Salvaki and his four K marker.
70
00:04:50,560 –> 00:04:54,720
The delays have exasperated South Sudan’s partners and the United
71
00:04:54,800 –> 00:04:58,720
Nations U and Nation Chief Nicholas Hensol said on whether
72
00:04:58,759 –> 00:05:02,639
there was deep frostration and fortigue among the South Sudaniese people,
73
00:05:03,480 –> 00:05:08,439
the international community needed tangible evidence that those countries leaders
74
00:05:08,480 –> 00:05:13,319
are committed to a democratic future. South Sudan boasts plentiful
75
00:05:13,399 –> 00:05:17,519
oil resources, but the vital source of revenue was decimated
76
00:05:17,600 –> 00:05:20,959
in February when an export pipeline was damaged in War
77
00:05:21,079 –> 00:05:26,000
Term Sudan. Meanwhile, national Catholic reporters said Inya war is
78
00:05:26,040 –> 00:05:29,720
among seven hundred and fifty thousand South sud illistraatened by

00:05:29,759 –> 00:05:32,800
the floods and at risk of stablished among the population
80
00:05:33,000 –> 00:05:36,360
of more than twelve point seven million people, of whom
81
00:05:36,399 –> 00:05:40,800
about sixty one percent identify as Christian, it would be
82
00:05:40,839 –> 00:05:45,000
recalled that in twenty twenty, South Sudan declared a three
83
00:05:45,120 –> 00:05:48,240
month state of emergency as the country was declared a
84
00:05:48,279 –> 00:05:51,959
disaster zone due to floods that have affected over five
85
00:05:52,040 –> 00:05:57,439
hundred thousand people, killed many and destroyed one hundred thousand homes.
86
00:05:57,879 –> 00:06:02,240
Also in twenty twenty one, large parts of South Sudan
87
00:06:02,360 –> 00:06:05,759
were flooded over a year and a half. It was
88
00:06:05,800 –> 00:06:10,519
reportantly triggered by a climate change causing more refugee crisis,
