UN: More than 7 million people in to face acute food insecurity in South Sudan
Over 7 million people in South Sudan are expected to face acute food insecurity or worse during “the lean season” between now and July, the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organizations (FAO) said in a report.
FAO said the main drivers of “the dire food security situation” are protracted economic challenges that have sparked high inflation, “insufficient food supplies, the lingering impact of consecutive years with widespread floods and episodes of intercommunal violence.”
The landlocked country is facing an economic crisis due to a decline in oil exports after war-torn Sudan declared force majeure on oil shipments – South Sudan’s main export — passing through the country in March. The fighting in Sudan has affected shipments destined for a terminal near Port Sudan along the Red Sea coast.
