Floods displace Jonglei State residents

Authorities in Jonglei State’s Ayod County say floods have displaced thousands of families after heavy rain pounded parts of the state this week. The executive director in the office of Ayod’s County commissioner says over 60,000 people are homeless and authorities are mobilizing people to build dikes to prevent further displacements.
