US EditionSouth Sudan: Millions Risk Losing Access to Humanitarian Food Assistance Amid Funding Slowdown in South Sudan
SOUTH SUDAN, JUL 22 – WFP warns that without a $274 million funding boost, aid for 2.5 million severely food-insecure people will be cut, risking reversal of fragile humanitarian gains.
- On Tuesday, the United Nations World Food Programme warned of potential ration cuts in September without immediate funding.
- Fighting in Upper Nile state has displaced thousands and a cholera outbreak there has further strained relief efforts.
- WFP operations include airdrops delivering 430 metric tons of food to 40,000 people, yet it supports just 2.5 million with half-rations.
- River convoys along the White Nile have resumed months after conflict, and in Uror County, consistent aid delivery has alleviated catastrophic hunger.
- Without $274 million in urgent funding, deeper aid cuts will begin in September and a severe shortfall threatens support for millions.
