UN: 240K South Sudan refugees risk aid
The United Nations has warned that approximately 240,000 refugees from South Sudan are at risk of losing their food assistance starting next September due to a severe funding shortage. The World Food Program and the UNHCR have stated that these aid programs could be discontinued within weeks if urgent funding is not secured, as they have been supporting over 650,000 refugees in the country. This situation comes amid rising numbers of returnees from Sudan, increasing pressure on already strained humanitarian resources. The program requires $37 million to continue its operations, with a funding gap of up to $258 million until the end of 2026. About 7.8 million people are suffering from severe food insecurity, and 2.2 million children are acutely malnourished, amid escalating conflicts and a declining peace agreement, threatening to deepen the ongoing humanitarian crisis in South Sudan.
