South Sudan flooding: rains continue

Earlier this month, we reported that 800,000 people have been affected by floods in South Sudan, with nearly 400,000 forced from their homes. Now, about three weeks later the situation is still desperate in parts of the country. The rains continue, piling problems on problems for people. Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Newsday got a vivid postcard of what it’s like at the heart of the crisis from Josh Rosenstein - he's project coordinator in Pibor in the east of the country for charity Medecines Sans Frontieres.
