Airdrops are a last-resort solution to deliver life-saving food assistance to the most isolated communities, like this one in #SouthSudan ⤵️✈️

More support is urgently needed to help @WFP_SouthSudan reach hunger hotspots, as overlapping crises threaten to worsen hunger.

[Al Jazeera English Podcasts @AJEPodcasts]

South Sudan is facing a hunger catastrophe.

The effects of civil war and natural disasters are compounded by an influx of refugees fleeing the conflict in neighbouring Sudan.

In Bentiu, South Sudan, flood water is everywhere. For @LeMonde_Afrique, the story of a promising initiative, the production of "briquettes", a charcoal made out of invasive water hyacinth, by local women. #SouthSudan

This drought and flood resistant crop helps farmers grow food in the most challenging climate conditions.

Farmers like Angelina in Kuajok have been adapting to the climate crisis with new crops to feed their families and communities despite floods and dry spells 👏🏿

Families continue to cross the border into #SouthSudan as they flee fighting in Sudan.

WFP is providing hot meals and nutrition support to families, but an additional humanitarian response threatens to put further pressure on already stretched resources 👇🏿

[WFP South Sudan @WFP_SouthSudan]

Tens of thousands of people have crossed #SouthSudan's northern border as fighting in #Sudan continues.

@WFP is on the ground, screening children and mothers for malnutrition and providing hot meals 🍛to families in the transit centre

[WFP South Sudan @WFP_SouthSudan]

Malnutrition rates are well above emergency thresholds in Unity State, but limited resources mean @WFP can only support 62,000 of the 200,000 that need help.

South Sudan has been flooding for four straight years, affecting a million people and swamping 2/3 of the country. The situation around Bentiu is particularly extreme: the northern city is completely surrounded, cut off by miles of water in all directions
