Major Humanitarian Crises Unfold in South Sudan and Colombia

Over 650,000 refugees in South Sudan face extreme hunger and risk losing vital assistance due to critical funding shortfalls, as 7.8 million people across the country experience high levels of acute food insecurity. Meanwhile, in Colombia, a 7.4 magnitude earthquake has killed over 250 people, injured thousands, and destroyed tens of thousands of homes, prompting the International Rescue Committee to launch a health and child protection response for over 1.2 million affected individuals.
