The floods in South Sudan have caused widespread displacement, destroyed homes, and disrupted livelihoods. The humanitarian crisis has been exacerbated by ongoing ethnic-based internal conflict, poverty, an increasing influx of refugees from Sudan, and food insecurity. Many children and women are particularly vulnerable. Community-based organizations are assisting, but they lack the resources to respond to the emergency. Without support, the situation could worsen significantly.
The humanitarian crisis in South Sudan is catastrophic, and getting worse every day. Floods have affected nearly one million people, destroying homes and crops. Currently, 42 Counties out of 75 are affected. Health services have collapsed, clean water is scarce, and roads are impassable, most have been washed away by floods. Famine is predicted as a reality as the situation deteriorates. Children and women are particularly vulnerable. They lack basic needs and face gender-based violence.
The project will provide immediate relief and support to flood sufferers in one of South Sudan State namely Lakes State, It will distribute emergency food meals establish shelters, provide healthcare, ensure access to clean water, and support medication and protection for affected populations, especially women, children, the elderly and sick. Specific measures include targeted food rationing, nutritional supplements, community kitchens, and training on nutrition and hygiene.
The immediate impact of this critical project is to save lives by providing food thereby preventing malnutrition deaths. It will also provide other essential services like shelter and medication to thousands of flood-affected people in South Sudan. These actions create preparedness for stemming destruction from similar flooding episodes. By addressing immediate needs and supporting long-term recovery, the project will help communities rebuild their lives and livelihoods, reducing vulnerability.
