According to a January interview with the Aid group, South Sudan was expected to face severe hunger in 2022 amid the worst floods in 60 years in the nation and ongoing conflict.
According to the United Nations (U.N.), nearly 1 million people across South Sudan have been impacted by the floods, and last year had to reduce food aid by half in most places because of funding limitations, affecting some 3 million people.
According to the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), two years of floods have stopped people from farming and killed more than 250,000 livestock in Jonglei state alone.
