Concern: 1.7m on brink of starvation in South Sudan

“The level of malnutrition is getting worse, especially among young children and vulnerable groups, such as the elderly and people living with disabilities,” said Concern Worldwide South Sudan country director, Fiona McLysaght.
“There are 2m people that have had to leave their homes, and 1.8m people, 1m of whom are children, have fled the country and are living in refugee camps in neighbouring countries,” added the Clare woman.
