Western Equatoria State Relief and Rehabilitation Commission on Friday called for inter-agency assessment of flood victims in M’volo County.
Commission chairperson Joseph Salvatore made the call during a meeting with NGOs and UN agencies in state to rescue citizens displaced by flood in Yeri Payam, Anisa Radio reported.
He lamented that the victims were in dire need of shelter, food and medicines.
Mr Salvatore said 280 houses collapsed and 941 households including over five thousand individuals.
He explained that there is fear that people were prone to hunger because the flood destroyed all their crops.
