Food crisis in Ngop

13 March 2017. Ngop: A child holds his younger sister with malnutrition and respiratory infection in a clinic in Ngop, Unity state, South Sudan.

While Leer and Mayendit, both also in Unity state, have been recently declared in famine, Ngop is also in high risk. The food distribution is part of a Rapid Response Mission coordinated and funded by the World Food Programme (WFP) to mitigate this risk.

More than three years of conflict have disrupted farming, destroyed food stores and forced people to flee recurring attacks. Food shipments have been deliberately blocked and aid workers have been targeted.
