@martino7114: Drought Destroys Crops in Rumweel Boma, Aweil East County A prolonged dry spell has severely affected crops in Rumweel Boma of Malual Baai Payam, Aweil East County, Northern Bahr el Ghazal State, after the area reportedly went for three months without rainfall. Paramount Chief Yel Yel of Rumweel has appealed to the Northern Bahr el Ghazal State government and South Sudanese communities in the diaspora to provide urgent assistance to households whose crops have been destroyed by the drought. Chief Yel Yel said the situation is unprecedented in the area, noting that residents have not experienced such severe drought conditions in his lifetime. He also urged the State Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry to treat the situation as an emergency, warning that many families have limited alternative sources of food and livelihood. The drought has raised concerns over worsening food insecurity and a possible food crisis in Aweil East County and other counties across Northern Bahr el Ghazal State if urgent interventions are not taken. Local authorities and humanitarian partners are being urged to assess the impact of the drought and provide immediate support to affected communities. #Aweilonfocus
