Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>IGAD Climate Prediction & Applications Centre (ICPAC) has warned that the northern part of South Sudan will the covered with flash floods in the coming week.<\/p>\nThe other countries that will experience flash floods in the IGAD region include Sudan in the north and the Western Ethiopia, but South Sudan will be the most affected country in the region.<\/p>\n
\u201cBased on the current 7-day extreme rainfall forecast, there is the likelihood of isolated flash floods over southern Sudan, much of northern South Sudan & Western Ethiopia,\u201d ICPAC predicted.<\/p>\n
The regional weather forecast centre said the floods will result from heavy rainfalls that will leave water accumulated in water catchment areas<\/p>\n
\u201cRecent weather conditions indicate a high likelihood of heavy rainfall & rapid accumulation of water in localized areas. Since flashfloods can occur suddenly & pose a significant danger, member states may consider the following advisories,\u201d the forecast continued.<\/p>\n
The ICPAC urged the IGAD member states to follow eather reports an news channels for the update; make food, water, medication and flashlights available and heed to the orders of the local authorities and emergency instructions.<\/p>\n
\u201cPay attention to local authorities & emergency services\u2019 instructions & cautions. Follow their directions & collaborate with them,\u201d it instructed.<\/p>\n
In February, ICPAC predicted that countries lying north of the African continent might be hit by drought from March to May in some parts of Rwanda, Burundi, eastern Tanzania, and western South Sudan.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe probability of drier than normal rainfall is also enhanced for parts of Rwanda, Burundi, eastern Tanzania, and western South Sudan,\u201d the statement published by the ICPAC read.<\/p>\n
However, on April 18, 2023, the chairperson of Relief and Rehabilitation Commission (RRC), Manase Lomole Waya estimated about 2.6 million South Sudanese were dsiplaced by floods, in flood assessment report.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe floods have not only made movement double-crossing but have also caused the displacement of many people, including some who had returned from IDPS and refugee camps,\u201d said Waya.<\/p>\n
Waya argued that the floods could be a stumbling block to the implementation of the revitalized agreement on the resolution of the conflict in South Sudan (R-ARCSS).<\/p>\n
He added that the government allocated $20 million to purchase foods for the displaced persons in the states and administrative areas.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe government allocated $20 million for the purchase of life-sustaining foodstuffs such as sorghum for the displaced persons and other affected people in states and administrative areas,\u201d Manase said.<\/p>\n
He urged the government to construct dykes as a means of mitigating the impacts of floods.<\/p>\n
