Child malnutrition in South Sudan
Crisis Level IPC Phase 4 - Emergency

The Hunger Crisis in South Sudan

South Sudan faces one of the world's most severe food crises. Over million people are food insecure, and acute malnutrition threatens the lives of children.

Conflict, displacement, climate shocks, and economic collapse have created a perfect storm of hunger. Children are the most vulnerable — malnutrition weakens immune systems, stunts physical growth, and impairs cognitive development permanently.
