South Sudan emergency

Families in South Sudan are desperate for food, and 100,000 people are facing starvation in parts of the country where famine has already been declared. If we don't act today, it could be too late. Make a lifesaving donation now....

Food insecurity in South Sudan^[1] 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 as the number of people struggling to find enough food each day has grown to 6 million.

A total 45,000 people in former Unity and Jonglei states are still experiencing catastrophic conditions and face starvation if humanitarian assistance is not sustained.

While many donors have responded generously, WFP still requires US$134 million to provide food and nutrition assistance from August 2017 through January 2018.
