IDPs in Mangalla in dire need of clean drinking water A severe water shortage has hit the internally displaced persons (IDPs) camp in Mangalla County of Central Equatoria State.  Mangalla is now home to tens of thousands of people displaced by the floods in parts of Jonglei State since August.  Speaking to  Radio Tamazuj  Atem Akuoc, Mangalla IDPs camp chairperson said they lack access to clean drinking water since their arrival at the camp five months ago, already creating tensions with the host community.   “In Mangalla, the population is very huge and there is no access to clean water. No boreholes have been dug here. People had to move for more than one hour to fetch water from the River Nile. So, as a result, some IDPs decided to relocate to an area near the river. This issue now created a tension between the displaced community and the host community because that area has not been allocated to the displaced,” he said.
