3,100 families affected by floods in Maper and Malueth payams of Rumbek North County, Lakes State, are in urgent need of assistance.
UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Aid or UNOCHA reported that humanitarian partners secured an aircraft to conduct an inter-agency assessment in the two flood-affected payams.
The UN agency added that the flood-affected communities will receive household materials and food assistance.
Since early August, access by land to Rumbek North was impossible due to floods.
Approximately half of Rumbek North was still flooded and aid agencies could reach the affected communities only by air.
UNOCHA said aid reached over 117 thousand of the nearly 200 thousand flood-affected people across the country despite access difficulties.
