Famine declared in South Sudan; U.N. says more than 5M at risk - UPI.com
UPI reports: "South Sudan on Monday declared a famine is affecting 100,000 people
while U.N. agencies report another 1 million people are on the threshold
of starvation. [...] South Sudan has seen a three-year war between the government and rebel
factions, leading to the displacement of 3 million people and the
disruption of farming."
Comment: That's a sad situation. Hopefully the government and rebel factions can set aside their differences long enough for aid workers to get in there and provide some humanitarian assistance.
