Lifesaving Humanitarian Supply Route Cut in South Sudan, Leaving Malnourished Children At Risk

[WFP] Juba — More than 60,000 malnourished children in South Sudan’s Upper Nile state are at risk of plunging deeper into malnutrition as treatment supplies run critically low and resupply efforts are hampered, the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) and UNICEF warned today. Intensified fighting along the White Nile river has meant no humanitarian supplies have reached the area in almost a month. The river is the main humanitarian supply corridor into Upper Nile.
