Fears that flood may affect citizens in Twic Centre County in Jonglei State have heightened as dykes crack due to heavy rains.
Speaking to Radio Tamazuj, Dau Akoi Jurkuch, the commissioner of Twic Centre County said the development is now causing anxiety among the locals in flood prone areas in greater Twic County.
The local official pointed out that the locals in the counties are ready to rehabilitate the dykes but they lack machinery.
Dau appealed to the government and international NGOs operating in the country to intervene by providing tools for rehabilitation of dykes.
For his part, Jonglei’s Relief and Rehabilitation Commission director Gabriel Deng said the Lutheran World Federation pledged to provide fuel supply.
