JUBA, Nov. 18 (Xinhua) -- The World Food Programme (WFP) on Wednesday warned that this year's heavy flooding has destroyed harvest in the most affected parts of South Sudan, worsening the already dire food security situation caused by years of conflict.

Mathew Hollingworth, WFP country director, said that South Sudan is currently facing an additional crisis because of the flooding that took place this year, leaving nearly 800,000 people affected.
