Tens of thousands face starvation in South Sudan, aid agencies warned Friday, as fighting continues despite a peace deal signed six months ago meant to end civil war.
Nearly seven million people or two-thirds of the country face extreme hunger, the government and UN agencies said.
“The food security situation continues to deteriorate,” said Isaiah Chol Aruai, chairman of the National Bureau of Statistics, as he released the latest round of mind-boggling food assessments.
Nearly a fifth more people now need food aid to survive than when a man-made famine was declared in 2017, and the risk of another famine is a “real risk”, the UN said.
Aruai, speaking to reporters in Juba alongside the heads of the UN’s World Food Programme (WFP) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), pleaded for more aid to avert further catastrophe.
“The projections are alarming,” said FAO boss Pierre Vauthier. “Food security continues to worsen.”

When famine was declared in 2017, 4.9 million people or 40 per cent of the country needed food aid. Now over 6.1 million people, or just over half the population, are assessed to be in “acute food insecurity”.
