Barely 16 kilometres from the capital Juba, the devastation is apparent, with locals surrounded by water as they try to feed their children and find a safe place to sleep.
United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs warned that more heavy rains and flooding were expected in the coming months.
The disaster, which has also damaged health facilities and schools, came a year after record floods affected some 700,000 people in the East African nation.
