UN Agencies Warn of Extreme Hunger for 650,000 Refugees in South Sudan Amid Critical Funding Shortfalls

The UNHCR and World Food Programme (WFP) have warned that over 650,000 refugees and asylum seekers in South Sudan face extreme hunger and loss of vital assistance due to critical funding shortfalls. This crisis is exacerbated by the ongoing arrival of up to 3,000 refugees from Sudan each week, placing immense pressure on already strained humanitarian resources.
