*500 homes destroyed by flood in South Darfur camp for displaced * DREIGE CAMP (19 July 2013) -Torrential rains that fell from 4am to 8pm on Wednesday caused a flood that destroyed more than 500 homes at Dreige camp for the displaced near Nyala, capital of South Darfur. A youth representative told Radio Dabanga that in addition to the rain itself, flood waters rushed into the camp from the direction of Jebel Nyala. “Hundreds of displaced people are now living in the open without shelter or food,” the youth leader said. The floods have also left dozens of pools of water behind.” He said that “a Scottish organisation” promised to provide landfills and to open a drainage canal in the camp, but as yet, nothing has been done. “This meant that the floods could simply spread through the camp, leaving large puddles everywhere.” The leader warned of “a health disaster” unless humanitarian organisations intervene by providing assistance in the form of tents and plastic sheeting for the displaced. http://www.radiodabanga.org/node/53586 *File photo* *Related: *Rains cause damage and destruction in Central Darfur <http://www.radiodabanga.org/node/53394>(15 July 2013) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "South Sudan Info - The Kob" group.
