A UN-backed report released April 28, 2026, projects that 7.8 million people in South Sudan — about 56 percent of the population — will face high levels of acute food insecurity between April and July 2026, one of the highest rates of hunger anywhere in the world.

Among those facing acute food insecurity, 73,300 people are at the most severe level — IPC Phase 5, or Catastrophe — a 160 percent increase from the previous estimate. An additional 2.5 million are at Emergency level and 5.3 million are in Crisis.

The FAO, WFP and UNICEF warn of a credible famine risk in four counties across Upper Nile and Jonglei states, where conflict and displacement have cut communities off from food, markets and essential services. Nearly 300,000 people have been displaced in Jonglei alone.

The WFP requires close to $200 million over six months under a reduced operational plan for South Sudan, while the broader humanitarian appeal of $1.4 billion has received only 23 percent of required funding. The FAO has secured just 5 percent of its $60 million target.

South Sudan's crisis is compounded by spillover from the war in neighboring Sudan, which has displaced more than 12 million people and left nearly 34 million in need of humanitarian assistance. U.S. aid cuts have further strained resources for refugees in the region.
