Almost half of the population of war-torn South Sudan is facing acute hunger. The UK-based charity Oxfam said on Wednesday (November 26) that the country is facing this situation as Western countries have cut aid. The country has never received such little humanitarian aid in the past. AFP News
\nThe charity said that Western countries have cut aid budgets and South Sudan has received only 40 percent of its $1.6 billion humanitarian plan for 2025. Oxfam also said that about six million people in South Sudan are now hungry and have little access to clean water and sanitation. By April, 7.5 million people will be in this situation.
\nSouth Sudan’s wealthy elite have almost no basic services due to corruption in the country, such as the theft of oil resources. “This is turning their backs on them at a time when they need help the most to survive,” Shabnam Baloch, Oxfam’s country director for South Sudan, said in a statement. The world has turned its back on them at a time when their very existence is at stake.
\nSouth Sudan gained independence in 2011. But civil war broke out soon after. More than two million people have been displaced in the five-year civil war, and with the collapse of a peace deal, there is a risk of renewed conflict this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
