This week you are in South Sudan. Since 1984, AAH has been working in this country of 10 million inhabitants, which is landlocked and bordering Ethiopia.
In that country, 7.7 million people were acutely food insecure and 1.4 million children under the age of five were acutely malnourished. In 2021, the country faced the highest rates of food insecurity and undernutrition in its history. Remote areas were cut off from humanitarian assistance due to severe flooding that affected 835,000 people. In addition, factors such as localised conflicts, increased climate shocks, recurrent flooding, arid periods and drought, poor water services, lack of protection systems and the impact of COVID-19 have contributed to record rates of hunger and undernutrition.
More than ever, this country needs concrete and sustainable action.
