In South Sudan, over 700,000 people have been affected by torrential rains, which brought the region the worst flooding it’s seen in over 60 years. A representative for the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights said climate change is to blame.
Arafat Jamal: “Climate change does not have to lead to despair, because there are solutions. Solutions include pumping, include canalization, and they include good planning. What we would like to do as an international community, and what we must do, is support the efforts of the people and the government of South Sudan.”
