PWRDF Emergency Response to Famine in South Sudan

There are growing signs of hunger in South Sudan, the world’s newest country to gain independence. On February 20, the United Nations declared a state of famine in the north central part of the country. More than 40% of the population – 4.9 million people – are unsure where their next meal will come from. These already-shocking numbers may increase to 5.5 million if nothing is done to improve access to food.
