Sudan: The United Nations has said in a report that an additional half a million people, or 9.4 million people, in South Sudan will need humanitarian assistance and security services in the coming year.
According to the 2023 South Sudan Humanitarian Needs Overview report, more people will experience food insecurity in 2023. Nearly a third of South Sudan's population of 12.4 million currently faces severe food insecurity.
According to the report, human conditions are further worsened by endemic violence, conflicts, access restrictions, operational interventions, public health issues, and climate change impacts such as floods and droughts.
