South Sudan’s food security situation is alarming with as many as 7.1 million people – more than half the population – expected to experience severe food gaps. Without immediate food assistance, their situation is expected to deteriorate.
Food insecurity in South Sudan has reached the most extreme levels since independence in 2011. Famine has eased after a significant scale up in the humanitarian response. However, the situation remains dire across the country and the approaching lean season threatens the food security of 7 million people. As seasonal hunger peaks, WFP needs US$300 million to feed people and make sure that no child goes to sleep hungry.
