An estimated 780,000 people were reported as affected by flooding in areas along the Nile and Lol rivers, and in Sudd marshlands since May.
People in Jonglei, Unity and Upper Nile states, are the worst affected by the floods.
Humanitarian organizations are responding to the immediate needs of flood-affected people with emergency relief and community-based support.
At least 310,000 people were reached with WASH assistance; and 294,000 people were provided with food assistance in September and October. Some 174,000 people were reached with shelter and non-food items support as of 31 October.
Funding constraints continue to be a challenge, which hinders the overall flood response. The current resources available are inadequate to meet people’s needs.
