Highlights

The overall food security situation has worsened across South Sudan due to compounding shocks, including flooding, ongoing conflict, displacement, and cost of living. The impact is expected to result in another year of livestock and crop losses and has eroded the livelihoods and coping strategies of vulnerable communities across the country.

In order to address the interlinkages between food insecurity and children’s protection and well-being in South Sudan, it is essential that humanitarian actors, government, and donors commit to addressing children’s protection needs and safeguard children from the effects of the hunger crisis.
