State doctors confirmed that one child got drowned and the other two bodies were not admitted at the Aweil state hospital. The doctors have also said water diseases are among dire conditions facing the deprived.

Farmers union said their work is affected by the floods as major cultivated spaces cleaned by the water, worrying that it takes them another period to get prepared! 

Lual Lual, a residence chief, described floods as blessings for the New Year, saying no one knows what God will bring after this disaster.

The weather focusers connected the event with mass clearance of trees and devastation of general wildlife.
