12,000 URGENTLY NEED FOOD IN TONJ NORTH Thursday, 23 May 2013 06:59 | An inter-agency assessment in Tonj North County of Warrap State found over 12,000 people in urgent need of food assistance.
Local authorities and community members reported that residents in all five payams of Tonj North have suffered from cattle raids since the beginning of the year, compromising their food security. Displacement, trade disruptions, lack of food in the market and high prices of food were also cited as reasons for the worsening situation. Humanitarian partners agreed to fasten plans of a general food distribution targeting around 3,700 people, UNOCHA reported in its South Sudan Weekly Humanitarian report. The remaining 8,600 people will receive assistance in the form of food for assets. This support will continue until the next harvest in September 2013. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "South Sudan Info - The Kob" group.
