The UN’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs says Humanitarian agencies in South Sudan have been forced to reduce aid amidst a funding crisis and aggravated humanitarian situation.
A total of 7.76 million people face catastrophic levels of need, but resourcing shortfalls mean emergency food assistance will now be prioritised for 3.2 million people who face the highest levels of food insecurity.
Makena Walker, acting country director for the UN’s World Food Programme says the simple fact is that there are not enough resources available to the humanitarian community to meet the needs in South Sudan.
