Alarm bells for South Sudan from @theIPCinfo: hunger, malnutrition, famine risk are rising.
I saw how conflict and displacement are driving people from their homes and pushing communities to the brink.
We need safe access and more funding. Above all, this conflict must end.
#SouthSudan
The food security situation in South Sudan is worse than projected in the September 2025 IPC analysis, with 7.8 million people facing high levels of acute food insecurity between April and July 2026 — an increase of 280,000 people in IPC Phase 3 and above.

Switzerland is a vital partner for principled, life-saving humanitarian action and a strong ally for the Humanitarian Reset.
We need more donors to step up with urgency and solidarity so we can reach more people and save as many lives as possible.
