STANDING IN SOLIDALITY WITH PEOPLE SUFFERING IN JONGLEI STATE.

According to Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), more than 7.8 million people in South Sudan face acute hunger. About 2.2 million children under five require treatment for acute malnutrition, including nearly 700,000 suffering from severe acute malnutrition. Families in Jonglei state are increasingly relying on leaves, water lilies and other wild food sources to stay alive as worsening conflict, displacement and food shortages sours. Jonglei state has been a hotspot of violence, where government troops loyal to President Salva Kiir have clashed with militias allied to his longtime rival Riek Machar. Children are surviving on leaves and water lilies collected from swamps and seeds reserved for planting, while mothers walk for hours through floodplains to find anything edible for their children. Thousands of children out of school due to extreme hunger with many pushed into child labour and early marriage.
Together with you, we can end this suffering in Jonglei State.
