Aid agencies working to shelter South Sudan refugees are concerned about the rainy season and its impact on the refugees. The rising rain water level is leaving thousands of South Sudan refugees in the largest camp north of the country unable to sleep and at a risk of contracting serious water borne disease due to poor sanitation.

“We are living inside the water and outside there we have been destroyed by war… we don’t know what to do,” Mary, a refugee at the camp told Voice of America.

Fighting broke out in December in South Sudan after a political rift between President Salva Kirr and his former vice president Riek Machar.  More than 1.5 million people have been displaced within the country, but many also fled to neighboring countries Kenya, Uganda and Ethiopia.
