South Sudan: Floods intensify impact of hunger and insecurity - Operational Update Format Juba (ICRC) – Massive flooding that residents say they haven't seen before has left hundreds of thousands of people displaced with little or no means to survive across different parts of South Sudan. Insecurity caused by recurrent cycles of armed violence as well as the immense logistical difficulties of reaching isolated communities has further complicated efforts to reach the 1 million people affected. To meet their urgent needs, the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement has stepped up its response. The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) has launched an emergency appeal seeking a total of 2.7 million Swiss francs to support the efforts of the SSRC to deliver assistance to over 117,000 people affected by floods in Jonglei, Upper Nile, Lakes and Unity states. As part as this response, the South Sudan Red Cross (SSRC) and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) managed to reach out and assist 72,000 people in remote areas of these same four states.
