WARRAP STATE, South Sudan (Reuters) - James Athian and his nine children have been living in a makeshift camp in South Sudan's Warrap state for two months since floods destroyed their house.

Athian and his family are among the 377,300 people displaced by floods and violence in Warrap since July, the United Nations Office for the Co-ordination of Humanitarian Affairs said. Nationwide, more than one million people have been temporarily forced from their homes.
