Hunger crisis in South Sudan: More than half the population threatened
Ongoing conflicts, flooding and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have led to 6.35 million people in South Sudan being threatened by hunger. According to the UN, this means that more than 50 percent of the population will not have enough food.
“It is an alarming situation to which we must respond quickly. Otherwise, 60 percent of the population will be threatened by hunger in just a few weeks,” says Roland Hansen, Head of the Africa Department of Malteser International.
