  • Recurring Floods In South Sudan Displace Refugees And Host Communities<br>BENTIU, SOUTH SUDAN - NOVEMBER 28: A group of women walk along a dyke protecting Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), and their host community, from further flooding on November 28, 2023 in Bentiu, South Sudan. Climate change has divided South Sudan into land that is experiencing unprecedented flooding or drought, with record flooding creating widespread displacement, the destruction of livelihoods and the loss of arable land which all contribute to rising hunger and cases of malnutrition. The ongoing war in Sudan has caused displacement of over 3.3 million people, some redirected refugees travelling back to South Sudan. (Photo by Luke Dray/Getty Images)
