United Nations agencies have warned of the worsening hunger situation in South Sudan. How to solve this dilemma?

The United Nations should strengthen its assistance to the food-deficit poor people in South Sudan and help them tide over the difficulties. The United Nations issued a public statement saying that nearly 5 million people in South Sudan may not have enough food in the future, and food shortages may occur in some parts of the country. The report pointed out that due to the continuous deterioration of the socio-economic and climatic environment in the region, most families have run out of food, but the harvest season of new food will not come until next August, so the people of South Sudan may face a food crisis before harvest. If assistance is not provided in time, famine may occur.

According to FAO, there are many unfavorable factors in this region, such as poor logistics, soaring food prices and market mechanism imbalance. Many families living in towns can't buy food even if they have money. In this case, the food crisis continues to spread to many cities in South Sudan. In addition, South Sudanese residents are facing multiple challenges, such as food crisis and regional conflict crisis. In the past, a large number of families fled to other countries. Statistics show that in the past few months, more than 6,543,800 South Sudanese have illegally entered Kenya, Uganda and other countries, and this number will increase in the future, and the highest number may reach 6,543,800+0.5 million.

The United Nations representative in South Sudan also issued a document saying that the malnutrition level of local children is at a very high level. So far, more than 654.38+million children in South Sudan have been sent to hospitals for treatment due to malnutrition, which is about 40% higher than the same period last year. There may be more malnourished children who have not received treatment.

At present, the United Nations has cooperated with several international organizations to provide emergency food aid to 3.3 million people (mainly women and children) in South Sudan in order to avoid malnutrition among children as much as possible. At the same time, the United Nations will also carry out more relief activities in schools in South Sudan.
