Large swathes of South Sudan have been under water for several years after unprecedented flooding, which scientists say has been worsened by climate change.
In recent years, these climate-driven floods have mixed with oil.
South Sudan is the world’s youngest country and one of its poorest, with a government hugely dependent on oil revenue.
Health professionals and politicians in the area have told the BBC they fear pollution and the lack of clean water are taking a toll on human health.
The BBC asked the oil consortium GPOC and the South Sudanese president’s office to comment on the allegations in this report, but they did not respond.

So many people talk about Hell, but don’t realize that we are already living in it.
In a shed the size of a couple of the huts, a closed loop hydroponics with aquaponics tank systems can be run from filter collected rainwater _(with sensors for air and water temperature, pH, ionic active transport gradients gradient and camera tracking of hydrology plus fish and plants via sobel edge detection via C++ eigen maths library and DLib and Postgres LLM with Ollama)._ The Linux 4GB RAM with ethernet OrangePiZero2W running OpenSSH and training with logging vimwiki with po addon, plugin, for language translation can act as comms over _(token ring, encrypted)_ LoRaWAN, GNURadio_SDR_USB and Wifi Tx and Rx encrypted propagated signal using SimpleSamlPhpOpenIDConnectLogon for all fish and plants and people _(by library-card)_ running it and accessing it, and reliability metrics whilst LTO5 tape archiving is done and external DVDRW backup too, probably with snapshots via some external SSD and HDD via solar battery charging circuit to run it, such hat all events have latitude, longitude, altitude and bearings plus azimuth with cronjob time-date-stamp taking GNSS waveform to help pg_vector synchronise beam-forming for all inexpensive dongles plus those for RADAR and for s-band and ku-band satellite dish _(making use of El Hail transponder features from space)_ and antennae beam-forming whilst crypt_DNS is the reverse proxy in a BSD jails compatible testing system listening on multiple sockets as the Linux computer runs tomcat server for sockets. The small low-power LCD-screen with mic and speakers and EDR bluetooth A2DP audio helps input and output and QR_Code reading or LibreOffice creation of that and printer (CUPS) automation and limited paper usages for asset-management. That is what could help. Gambas programming language and GTK4 an make a reasonable GUI for it. Experience gained would then help a curriculum vitae, as per the library-card system which is used for the VimWiki in OpenSSH. A vessel could also have one of the Linux versions of the computer and use light _(playstation-move and longer range LED)_ with the multiple cameras to gauge distance and collision detection warning and logistics planning, such that it too and all things mentioned have the asset-management and QR_Code system labels, for CRUD (Create, Read Update, Delete) with boarding and departure. So data is ready for DPA2018 and PECR2003 in conjunction with SFAIRP and ALARP _(in relation to possible data driven by IEC 61508 and ISO 26262)_ just in case vehicles and PPE are attained or upgraded one day, but that also means transport and movements are available as Markov chains and thereby Markov state transition. So collision detection and market-forces can be shown with reports from Rosenblatt-Parzen Window Gaussian Kernel probability estimation _(just in case the kernel method is used later in machine learning since the A53 CPU is low power and slower than some others)._ Spectral analysis of signals and the water and hydrology can be done with Chebyshev polynomials, helping advertising revenue for the crops and fish byproduct, so a village centre has a small screen like a small TV would be in a pub for sports but instead it is something like a costing ‘cut’ of shilling per n-amount of value in the vendor’s bulletin board listings each time. A mini-digger would help a road or toll canal however which then also means a barge (that would just about squeeze in) could have a school-nurse level first-aid clinic accessed via deciduous voucher system _(maybe quarterly)_ as part of that toll invoicing. any vessel on it would be required to have a few, _(at X, Y and Z and “roof-top” locations on the vessel, to derive pitch-roll-yaw and leeway)_ big _(like say A3 paper laminated on a sort of ‘mast’ tripod of 2Metres in height, with Dublin-core Friend-Of-A-Friend Metadata and the aforementioned personalised information system)_ unique UUID and QR_coded posters identifying it and thereby allowing its movements to be known for logistics and collision detection as an inexpensive standard for a great many vessels on waterways, including in other parts of Africa and perhaps elsewhere in the world by opt-in modes. Very easy to do as long as the want is there, considering it helps the skipper or vessel “driver” get associates know their reliability and acumen. Plus it can benefit interactions with ecology rangers.
My comment has no hate in it and I do no harm. I am not appalled or afraid, boasting or envying or complaining… Just saying. Psalms23: Giving thanks and praise to the Lord and peace and love. Also, I’d say Matthew6.
Sudan has always been dry
