According to the latest Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) report, an estimated 63 percent of the population in Northern Bahr al Ghazal, South Sudan is experiencing severe food scarcity.

The situation is particularly bad in Aweil West and Aweil South counties, where the exhaustion of household food stocks and growing dependence on financially inaccessible markets have left the population facing Emergency levels of food insecurity. Albert Gonzalez Farran / AFP
