South Sudan 'dying of thirst' as climate-driven floods mix with oil | BBC News
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…

How hardful it's even recognized some my relatives in own county RUBKOTNA in unity states _Bentiu , God please this beyond our hand 👏 we need to intervene in to our situation 😢😢
It's going to sound harsh, but if there's lack of water and food while oil pipes are spilling into the driking water supply people should be displaced and not be given food aid so they keep dying in same Region with children born with birth defects.
Acharya Prashant fight against ignorance which is biggest reason of climate change
❤support him
I cannot bear to watch. 😢
The inhabitants of this beautiful country need to have peace between them so that you Can develope.we wish you the best
not one mention of the population explosion.. this makes this cheap propaganda if you do not provide the context…
They should be relocated to somewhere livable. Where are governments? Do something for them!
And the co-operations responsible for this mess are no where to be found.
Few reap the benefits but all pay the price, it is true whether you are a Jew or rob Peru. Naturally you just want it all for yourself, but what becomes of morality and laws and the people themselves as a whole when ran by corruption and greed?
are they the first to go?
Hey BBC, why is 'dying of thirst' in quotes as though that fact is somehow up for debate? Please do better.
Come over to the UK,plenty of space.
Drought and flooding rain.
Normal❗
The BBC doesn't understand the climate of these latitudes.
"Climate-driven floods"👎
How stupid does the BBC think we are?🤪
Making this video and not calling the government running the country out instead you just blame oil and climate is mind bugling 😏and why make babies in a condition like this?
Blame climate change on everything 😏 or grow balls and blame African leaders for lack of infrastructure and lots more.
End the African conflicts and have Africa free from all colonialism colonial exploitation from powers like US , France, Britain etc.
End all the African conflicts now!!
Climate catastrophes will continue to increase because we do nothing to reduce our emissions or our numbers.
Fossil Foiluse???

The solution to this problem is ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC). OTEC will reduce the temperature of the ocean surface which will reduce evaporation and thus the potential for floods. Carbon neutral electricity will be generated as well.
If more people had the ability to think logically and solve problem the world would be a much better place.
Excellent reporting thanks to the reporter

Please can we control fossil fuels and fine companies who allow leaks and don't clean up their act before it's too late. We have had so many disastrous weather events and they will only get worse if we don't change our ways.
I wonder why these governments don’t or won’t hold the companies responsible and force the businesses to fix the problem. I can’t imagine any company doing business in a foreign country without permission from the country’s government.
So typical of BBC to use people who are suffering just so they can push their political messages.
Edible roots of water lilies tasting like mud cracked me up 😂

Most of the African governments are very corrupt and keep all funded monies (from other countries) for themselves. The richest men who own African corporations live in London UK. If the people of Africa are to be helped, their govt officials all need to be replaced. It's very sad to status of population needing clean water.
My heart pains deeply watching this..may God bless and provide for them through the assistance of good leaders and people who's seeing this😢
Abyei, kafia kingi and ilemi triangle are all South Sudan
Why didn't you complete map of South Sudan
I apologize for my people. They don't care about anyone but themselves anymore. I'm sorry you've had so little help from people who have actual power. I'm sorry
Thats a legitimate humanitarian and environmental crises. Which organisations step in? People probably need to be evacuated until the water drains away. And oil removed somehow.
Very sad to see the people's conditions! 😔😥 Something that happened not due to their mistakes!
This is the USA and china's fault for not taking climate change policy serious enough. They are indebted to these people.
This scene is heartbreaking to watch
I can't go without share my emotion.. I'm sorrowful seeing their spending life 😭 May allah protect them ❤
Only African country have oil and are not rich tf 🤦🏽♂️
Praying for relief for these people 🙏
Oil can cause DNA damage? This is sad.
check their population they r like a rabbit
Reminds of dialogue from Blood Diamond movie
GOD LEFT THIS PLACE A LONG TIME AGO, WHAT HAVE WE DONE TO EACH OTHER ❤️🩹😔
So where did the oil profits go?
Climate change "warriors" are a "death cult". If these self-indulgent doom-mongers got their way they would "enforce" Year Zero and we would all be walking around in cardboard shoes. The hypocrisy is the number of cars that these middle class hypocrites run. Dad, mum and each son and daughter with their own car in the driveway. The greatest cause of starvation and death in Africa is political corruption.
If only the world had focused on a resource based economy instead of money based. But we're too late anyway. The world is too damaged now. What a mess humans have made for the sake of money and 'progress'. Really hard to watch the resultant destruction and suffering, especially for the babies. May God have mercy on the innocent people in Sudan and the world.
