SITUATION UPDATE
Continuous heavy rains since May, combined with controlled water releases from Lake Victoria, have significantly raised Nile River levels, affecting about 710,000 people across 30 of South Sudan's 78 counties and Abyei Administrative Area. The floods have devastated homes, destroyed crops, disrupted education and health services, and restricted access to essential facilities. Reports indicate rising malaria cases, respiratory tract infections, acute watery diarrhea, and snakebites. Flood-affected people were unable to tend to their lands and livestock, further aggravating their vulnerabilities.
