Civilians in Malual North County are struggling to find food, a local official tells Radio Tamazuj.
Deputy executive director for Malual North County Kuot Anyuon said that people in the area are struggling to find sorghum already, and the new harvest will begin in the coming weeks.
“It is very difficult even to get a single gallon of sorghum here in Gok Machar market. People go from market to market in order to buy food but all markets are empty” Kuot said.
He called on the World Food Programme to begin food drops, and an airstrip was cleared two weeks ago.
“The only hope is WFP food that we expect to be dropped in the coming days” Kuot stressed
