Nearly 1M people in South Sudan displaced by floods
Nearly 1 million people in South Sudan have been displaced or isolated by months of flooding, which The Associated Press noted this week is the worst in recent memory.
Waters in the northeast African country began to rise in June, washing away crops and swamping roads, with the threat of famine now looming.
The AP recently traveled to the Old Fangak area in the hard-hit Jonglei state, where the newswire spoke with local citizens who described experiences of walking for hours in chest-deep water to find food and health care.
