UN Alerts 650K South Sudan Refugees at Risk
The United Nations warns that more than 650,000 refugees and asylum seekers in South Sudan are at risk of losing food assistance within weeks due to severe funding shortages, which may force some to return to Sudan fleeing conflict. Over 7.8 million people, more than half the population, are experiencing severe food insecurity, while 2.2 million children are suffering from acute malnutrition. The last food aid distribution is scheduled for September, reaching 240,000 vulnerable refugees. However, the funding shortfall is reducing food rations and increasing the suffering of refugees, with the potential for the crisis to worsen and some individuals to return to Sudan despite ongoing conflict there.
