Pibor population faces evacuation

    NAIROBI

    People living in Sudan’s southeastern Pibor area are facing evacuation after floods submerged most of the area, news organisations reported. The area’s commissioner Ismail Konyi was quoted by the ‘Al-Anbaa’ newspaper as saying these were the worst floods in the area since 1964. He said schools, hospitals, cattle and wildlife had been swept away and the flooding had brought the transport system to a halt. He said he was preparing for the evacuations and appealed for emergency assistance from the relevant agencies.
