2026-09-19

Over one million vulnerable people in South Sudan risk losing critical food and nutrition assistance due to funding shortfalls.

Key developments

Humanitarian access incidents totaled 77 in August 2026, with over half involving violence against humanitarian personnel and assets. This insecurity led to the suspension of activities by one organization in Chemedi. UNICEF and partners are working to restore life-saving assistance in conflict-isolated areas.

Key concerns

Funding shortfalls threaten essential aid for refugees and other vulnerable populations. Ongoing conflict, communal clashes, and land disputes continue to drive new displacement, while returnees face critical gaps in basic services.

Humanitarian impact

The country is experiencing a severe humanitarian crisis with extensive internal displacement. More than one million people are at risk of losing vital food and nutrition assistance, and refugees face a potential loss of life-saving support.

Information gaps

Specific details on the types of basic services lacking for returnees are not yet covered in recent reporting.
