FIRST NEWS:
The second news is about Millions in South Sudan will need food aid. Nearly 10
million people in South Sudan will need food aid in 2023, according to the UN Office
for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (Ocha). Ocha says severe food
insecurity will affect an estimated eight million people, or 64% of the 13 million
population, by the peak of the lean season between April and July next year. "A
staggering 76% of South Sudan's population will have humanitarian and or
protection needs in 2023,” Sara Beysolow Nyanti, the UN Humanitarian Coordinator
in South Sudan, said in a press release on Friday. Ms Nyanti stressed that the
deteriorating humanitarian conditions are worsened by endemic violence, conflict,
access constraints, operational interference, public health challenges and climatic
shocks such as flooding and localised drought.
LAST NEWS:
The latest news is about Dominican Republic floods: At least six killed in rains. On
Friday, some areas of the capital, Santo Domingo, saw twice the monthly average
rainfall in one day. Meteorologists said that while they had been aware of heavy
rains approaching, they had been surprised by the strength of the sudden downpour.
Poor drainage meant that the water accumulated quickly, turning streets into quick-
flowing torrents. In some parts of Santo Domingo, 232mm (9.1in) of rain fell in a
matter of hours, twice the estimate for the month, Weather Bureau Director Gloria
Ceballos said. View of a car dragged by the current in the Los Ríos neighborhood

Several people are still missing. Of the six people who died, two drowned, two were
electrocuted and two were crushed by collapsing walls. Hundreds of homes have
been damaged and the agricultural sector has also been hard hit. President Luis
Abinader said an estimate of the damages would be released on Tuesday. He added
that poor drainage had compounded the flooding in the capital: "It's a problem that
continued to grow, the city and greater Santo Domingo area grew without a real
drainage system."
