Briefing by Edem Wosornu, Director of Operations and Advocacy, Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), on behalf of Joyce Msuya, Acting Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, on the humanitarian situation in South Sudan.
The Director of the Operations and Advocacy Division at the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), Edem Wosornu, said “heavy rains since May, as well as the calculated release of water from Lake Victoria have led to increased Nile River levels, with floods so far impacting up to 300,000 people.
At the peak of the flood season, Wosornu said, “flooding could impact up to 3.3 million people. This includes communities yet to recover from the devastating floods which occurred between 2019 and 2022, and which displaced more than one million people.”
She told the Council that South Sudan is in the grips of a growing food insecurity crisis, a climate crisis, and an economic crisis, all while suffering the impact of the conflict in Sudan and dwindling financial support for the humanitarian response. However, underfunding continues to hamper an adequate response.
