(February 23, 2017) –
World Vision is on the ground in South Sudan providing urgent relief to children and families impacted by severe food shortages. Families are receiving:
- Monthly food rations of staple foods - sorghum, corn, oil, beans, sugar and salt.
- Targeted health and nutrition support to pregnant women and children who have medical complications from acute malnutrition.
- Seeds, tools and training for farmers to build self-reliance and stave off the horrible effects of famine.
