Dear Beloved Fangak Community, at home and abroad in Egypt, East Africa, Australia, the USA, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Europe,
Subject: Urgent Appeal: Help Save Old Fangak from Devastating Floods
Greetings in the name of our shared heritage and resilience.
Fangak County has been hit by devastating floods caused by heavy rainfall and overflowing rivers. On *28th August 2025, Old Fangak, our major town and business center, home to over 15,000 residents, was submerged under floodwaters. Families are stranded, with no means of evacuation, shelter, or safety.
We write to you today with a heavy heart but a determined spirit. Our town is facing a humanitarian catastrophe. The relentless floods that have become an annual challenge have destroyed homes, livelihoods, and pushed our families to the brink.
In this moment of urgent need, the Fangak Youth Union appeals to:
The Government of South Sudan and the Jonglei State Government
Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs)
The international community of goodwill
to join hands in rescuing and supporting the vulnerable people of Old Fangak. Immediate humanitarian assistance is required, including:
Food and clean water
Medical supplies
Shelter
Evacuation support
Declaration of a state of emergency
The Fangak Youth Union is organizing a fundraising initiative to support our stranded community members and facilitate evacuation to safer areas. We call upon all Fangak sons and daughters, wherever they are, to stand with us in this defining moment*.
