Izikhukhula zinqamule iWest Nile kulo lonke elase-Uganda ngemuva kokuthi uR.Nile eqhume osebeni lwayo ngoLwesibili. Le ngxenye esenyakatho-ntshonalanga yezwe manje isifinyeleleka kuphela ngezikebhe nangomoya ngemuva kokuba izikhukhula zibeke imfucumfucu esindayo nokhula emgwaqweni oseduze kwebhuloho iPakwach esifundeni saseNwoya.
Imvula kusukela ngo-Okthoba kuya maphakathi noNovemba yayicishe ibe ngama-300% ngaphezu kwesilinganiso kulo lonke uPhondo lwe-Afrika, ngokusho kweFamine Early Warning Systems Network. Izindawo ezithinteke kakhulu zibandakanya izingxenye ze-Ethiopia, iSomalia, neKenya, lapho iningi lokushona kwenzeke khona.
Izikhukhula kanye nokudilika kwenhlabathi okubangelwe yimvula enamandla kubulale okungenani abantu abangama-250 ezinyangeni ezisanda kwedlula eMpumalanga Afrika, okunezela enkingeni ebangelwa isimo sezulu esike yathinta abantu ababalelwa ezigidini ezi-2.5 esifundeni.

Isimo eSouth Sudan:
Imisebenzi yokuphendula iye yandiswa ezindaweni ezithintekile lapho izikhukhula zonakalise khona izimpilo zabantu abangu-908,000. Kusukela ngomhlaka-29 Novemba, kusatshalaliswe cishe amathani ayi-7,000 wemikhiqizo yokudla, efinyelela kubantu abayi-704,000 ngosizo oluphuthumayo lokudla.
Ukwabiwa kokudla kuyaqhubeka kwezinye izindawo. Kuthunyelwe amanye amaqembu okuphendula ezindaweni ezithintekile ukukhulisa ngokushesha ukubhaliswa nokusatshalaliswa. Cishe imindeni eyi-11,000 ezifundeni zase-Ayod nase-Akobo ithole okokufaka kwezolimo, imbewu yemifino kanye namakhithi okudoba, ngenkathi kusabiwa okuningi ezifundeni ezithintekile e-Upper Nile, eJonglei, Unity nase-Abyei, kubhekiswe eminye imindeni engama-65,000.

Eminye imindeni engama-12,000 isizakele ngama-Emergency Flood Rapid Response Kits (EFRRK), ngenkathi kusabiwa eminye imindeni eyi-23,000. Kulinganiselwa ukuthi imindeni engama-XNUMX esezindaweni eziseqhulwini idinga usizo.
Izinhlangano ezisiza abantu zisebenzisa izindlela zomoya nezamanzi ukuhambisa usizo ezindaweni okunzima ukufinyelela kuzo lapho abantu becasha khona. Kwezinye izindawo lapho amanzi ahlala ephakeme khona, ikakhulukazi ePibor eJonglei, abantu abathintekile kufanele badabule odakeni nasemanzini beya ezindaweni zokusabalalisa ezikhumulweni zezindiza. Ukwandisa imisebenzi yokufinyelela nokuphendula, izinhlangano zosizo zilungisa imigwaqo, ikakhulukazi endaweni yaseMabon, ngokuhlanganyela komphakathi wendawo. Ngaphezulu kwamathani ayizigidi ezingama-220 ezinto zosizo oluphuthumayo — ukudla okunezinhlobonhlobo, ezempilo, okondlayo, indawo yokuhlala, ukuvikelwa kanye nempahla yeWASH - kuthuthwe kwahanjiswa ezindaweni ezibalulekile.

Lokhu kumelela amaphesenti angama-41 wezigidi ezingama- $ 61.5, imali esewonke edingekayo ukuhlangabezana nezidingo ezisheshayo zabantu abasengozini enkulu.
LOKHO ONGAKUTHATHE KULESI SIHLOKO:
- Kwezinye izindawo lapho amanzi ehlala ephezulu, ikakhulukazi e-Pibor e-Jonglei, abantu abathintekile kufanele bahambe odakeni nasemanzini baye ezindaweni zokusabalalisa ezikhumulweni zezindiza.
- Le ngxenye esenyakatho-ntshonalanga yezwe manje isifinyeleleka kuphela ngezikebhe nomoya ngemva kokuba izikhukhula zifake imfucumfucu nokhula emgwaqeni oseduze kwebhuloho lasePakwach esifundeni saseNwoya.
- Ukuphendula, i-Uganda National Roads Authority (Unra) inebhuloho lasePackwach elivalwe okwesikhashana kuze kube yilapho selithola esinye isaziso futhi seluleka abahambi abaya nababuya eNtshonalanga Nile ukuthi basebenzise isikebhe saseGulu-Adjumani-Leropi, isikebhe saseGulu-Adjumani-Obongi noma isikebhe saseMasindi Wanseko.
