The United States of America, through its agency, has generously donated over £324 million in food items to the World Food Programme (WFP) in South Sudan this year. This contribution aims to address the pressing hunger needs of the nation’s residents. Currently, South Sudan has approximately 5.7 million individuals relying on humanitarian aid throughout the country.

Moreover, the food and nutrition assistance is intended to benefit a population of 5.7 million, which encompasses 2 million malnourished mothers and children. Reports suggest that this number could escalate to between 7 and 8 million individuals requiring food aid.

USAID stands as the foremost provider of humanitarian food assistance in South Sudan, with a particular emphasis on the World Food Programme. The agency remains committed to ensuring the efficient and effective distribution of aid to those most in need.
