UN Undersecretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief
Coordinator Martin Griffiths has allocated $13 million from the UN
Central Emergency Response Fund for an urgent response to large-scale
flooding in South Sudan, said the Office for the Coordination of
Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).
Humanitarian agencies have scaled up their response to meet the affected people's needs. This is the third year in a row that large parts of South Sudan have been flooded, it said.
The allocation contributes to the response to one of the worst and most prolonged floods.
UN agencies and their partners will provide humanitarian assistance and protection to people impacted by the floods who have limited or no access to basic services and supplies, said OCHA. - IANS
