Some one million people in South Sudan have been displaced or isolated for months by the worst flooding in memory, with the intense rainy season a sign of climate change.
The waters began rising in June, washing away crops, swamping roads and worsening hunger and disease in the young nation struggling to recover from civil war.
Now famine is a threat.
On a scrap of land surrounded by flooding, families drink and bathe from the waters that swept away latrines and continue to rise.
