South Sudan: Floods Severely Disrupt Infrastructure in Twic East County

A recent mapping exercise by the REACH Initiative identified 521 critical infrastructure assets in Twic East County, with 41% non‑functional due to flooding. The payams of Kongor (213 assets) and Nyuak (104 assets) had the highest concentrations of damaged infrastructure and the greatest service disruptions. Education facilities were most affected, with 56% non‑functional, primarily primary schools. Health facilities remained operational in 69% of cases, yet 90% suffered structural damage, 55% lost power or refrigeration for vaccines and medicines, and 48% had water damage to supplies or diagnostic equipment, potentially compromising care. Water points were 38% non‑functional; among functional points, 57% showed visible damage, especially boreholes which comprise 63% of sources. Sanitation infrastructure was in the poorest condition: 53% of latrines were non‑functional, only 39% were accessible, and 85% displayed visible damage.
