South Sudan Crisis Regional Impact Situation Report #64, 30 September 2015
  • Despite the signing of the peace agreement and attempts by the international and regional bodies to support the implementation of the peace agreement in South Sudan, refugees continue to cross the borders into neighbouring countries.
  • WFP requires USD 63 million for the next six months to meet the needs of all refugees in Ethiopia, Kenya, Sudan and Uganda.
  • Food stocks are stretched and WFP requires immediate contributions to meet the needs of new arrivals and  existing refugees, in particular Kenya and Sudan. In Kenya, WFP continues to implement 30 percent ration cuts, which started in the second round of June distributions.
  • The first cash-based transfers for refugees in Kakuma, Kenya started in late-August. The cash replaces 10 percent of the cereals’ ration, allowing refugees to  purchase food of their choice from approved traders.
