South Sudan declares state of emergency after floods kill nine, displace 25,000


South Sudan on Thursday declared a state of emergency after flooding killed nine people and displaced 25,000 others.
South Sudan President Salva Kiir made this known in a statement.
The emergency was declared in 27 out of the East African nation’s 32 states after torrential rains had submerged many villages.
“The state of emergency is declared to allow aid workers and other humanitarian agencies to access people affected by the floods who are in need of aid,” the president said.
According to Kiir, at least nine people have died due to the floods earlier this week in the Upper Nile region.
