Map: South Sudan’s humanitarian crisis

With the rainy season in full swing, disease spreading, and sporadic fighting continuing, the six month crisis in South Sudan shows no sign of abating, the UN’s Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) says.

With the rainy season in full swing, disease spreading, and sporadic fighting continuing, the six month crisis in South Sudan shows no sign of abating, the UN’s Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) says.

OCHA released a map today with accompanying charts showing the extent of the disaster. The map breaks down by state how many people are displaced and face humanitarian emergency.

The worse hit states are Unity, Upper Nile, and Jonglei, where the fighting has been most intense.  In those three states, 2.3 million people–over half the combined population–are facing emergency or crisis conditions.

The charts show the worsening levels of food insecurity in South Sudan, as well as the funding gap between what humaniarian agencies need to deal with the crisis–1.8 billion dollars–and what they’ve received so far–745 million dollars.
