South Sudan floods lead to rising child malnutrition: 'The baby doesn't have milk and I don't have money'
South Sudan is currently facing its highest levels of food insecurity and malnutrition, exacerbated by the impact of floods and displacement. According to UN OCHA more than 835,000 people were reported as affected by flooding across the country since May 2021. An average child growing up in South Sudan today does not have enough to eat and is at risk of growing up chronically malnourished. Up to 36% of children under 5 have had to seek medical attention for some form of diseases.
