Highlights
• More than one million people have been affected by flooding since June across South Sudan. WFP is targeting flood-affected people in need of food assistance. WFP reached 550,000 people with assistance in November.
• FAO-WFP early warning analysis of acute food insecurity hotspots recommends substantive humanitarian presence in South Sudan to cushion against a deterioration in the humanitarian situation.
• UNMAS cleared unexploded ordnances (UXOs) from the WFP airdrop zone in Gumuruk, Greater Pibor Administrative Area.
Situation Update
• The latest FAO-WFP early warning analysis of food insecurity hotspots was released in October 2020. The key drivers of food insecurity are found to be: conflict; consecutive natural shocks; deteriorating economic situation; severe constraints to humanitarian access. The analysis warns that if these factors continue to deteriorate, this would lead to a catastrophic food security situation in parts of the country. However, substantive humanitarian presence in the country could cushion against such a worst-case scenario, coupled with prospects for rainfall to subside and the start of the green harvest.
