1.25 million face starvation in war-torn South Sudan
Quote:
 
JUBA, South Sudan (AP) — In war-torn South Sudan 1.25 million people are facing starvation, double the number from the same time last year, according to a report by the United Nations and the government released Monday.

This country could once again plunge into famine in 2018, warn humanitarian groups and the government.

“The widespread and extreme food consumption gaps ... should make us all extremely concerned about the worst case scenario of famine in many locations across South Sudan in 2018,” said Katie Rickard, country coordinator for REACH, a humanitarian research initiative that provided data for the report.

Humanitarian organizations blame the worsening situation on South Sudan’s continuing conflict, which is nearing its fifth year and has killed more than 50,000 people.

The UN was primarily established to prevent or stop wars....It has never done so....It is eager to get wealthy countries to feed millions of pet hamsters, hungry because of wars in their country............... :oyvey
