This flooding brought many unwanted animals and reptiles into people\u2019s homes and too close for comfort. I cannot imagine what it would be like to have wild crocodiles and snakes invading my home. The flooding has affected over 200,000 people in the youngest nation and destroyed a huge number of properties that the local people rely on to survive. In Bor town, the capital of Jonglei State where the Evangelical Covenant Church has four Congregations, the flood has caused more destruction and has displaced more than half of the town population. There are estimated to be 2,000 IDP\u2019s (internally displaced people) in Bor town who live in 400 households. Since the flood that occurred in Bor town, the government of Janglei State has not been able to do very much to help the IDP\u2019s. These people are camping in the open with the dangerous wild reptiles and harmful insects. Some of these people were relocated to an open field camp where there were not enough bug nets or other essential food items. The Evangelical Covenant Church of South Sudan was concerned by the devastating conditions of the IDP\u2019s. These people need aid with food, non-food items (like bed nets), shelters, and necessary items that will help lighten there sufferings and sustain their life. Covenant World Relief is working with Evangelical Covenant Church of South Sudan to provide relief to those affected by the flooding.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.covchurchgiving.com\/p-637-cwr-sudan-relief.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">Give now<\/a> to our work with South Sudan here.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-report-this\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/cwr?moderation_action=report_form&#038;object_type=post&#038;object_id=6273&#038;width=250&#038;height=300\" class=\"thickbox\" title=\"Report This Post\">Report This Post<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>South Sudan has experienced heavy flooding.
