South Sudan's humanitarian aid crisis is deepening as food stocks run low, according to Al Jazeera, with more than one million people at risk of losing life-saving assistance.
The shortfall is being driven by shrinking international funding for aid operations in the country, even as the humanitarian needs continue to grow.
Compounding the strain, South Sudan continues to receive arrivals of people fleeing the conflict in neighboring Sudan, adding further pressure on already stretched aid resources and services within the country.
South Sudan has long depended heavily on international humanitarian assistance due to recurring internal conflict, economic instability and vulnerability to climate-related shocks such as flooding and drought.
Aid organizations have repeatedly warned that funding reductions risk reversing progress made in addressing food insecurity in the country, with the current reported timeline suggesting the impact could be felt as early as this month without a change in funding levels.
