More than 7.7 million South Sudanese, around 63 percent of the population, are facing a food crisis as violence intensifies in the country, the government and United Nations say
South Sudan has been lurching from crisis to crisis, battling flooding, hunger, as well as violence and political disputes.
The figure, which marks a seven percent hike on the numbers reported last year, came from a joint report by the government and United Nations presented to the press on Saturday. Moreover, 80 percent of the population who are suffering food crisis are in the Unity, Jonglei, Upper Nile, Warrap, and Eastern Equatoria states according to the report.
In 2013, the country was plunged into a five-year civil war between forces loyal to President Salva Kiir and veteran opposition leader Riek Machar.Two years ago, the two men formed a unity government, cementing a peace deal signed in 2018 that brought an end to the conflict.
