Food Shortages in South Sudan – Grande

Lise Grande, coordinator of (United Nations) UN humanitarian efforts in South Sudan, says a vast under-developed region in a grip of renewed tribal violence, is facing a massive food shortage.

Grande states that, "The southern Sudan is faced with a massive food deficit caused by a combination of late rains, high levels of insecurity and displacement, disruptions of trade and high food prices."

She further says that, “The rains necessary for the first harvest have failed - which will extend the hunger gap from June all the way through October, when it normally ends in August."
