\"BoyFollowing years of war\u00a0coupled with extreme drought, South Sudan\u00a0is experiencing\u00a0major\u00a0disruptions in food production and supply resulting in extreme food shortages and malnutrition. In emergency disaster situations such as famine, we partner with the Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (PDA) and ACT Alliance to help address\u00a0the current immediate need.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In South Sudan, PDA is also working with Presbyterian Relief and Development Agency (PRDA) to distribute emergency relief items and food.<\/span><\/p>\n

Famine is severe in South Sudan and USAID estimates that an estimated 5.5 million people – nearly half of South Sudan\u2019s population – will face life-threatening hunger this year. The risk of famine in northeastern Nigeria, Somalia and Yemen is increasing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
