South Sudan food crisis worst in world: UNSC
‘Food crisis in South Sudan is the worst in the world, with the country on the threshold of a total famine if fighting continues, the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) says.
In a press statement released on Friday, the Security Council “expressed grave concern about the catastrophic food insecurity situation in South Sudan.”
The 15-member council also urged the countries that promised at a May conference to provide the African country with $618 million in aid to “swiftly fulfill those pledges and to increase their commitments.”’
