More than 444 thousand people are displaced in South Sudan, according to data referenced in the article. This number represents only a part of the hundreds of thousands of people affected by the humanitarian crisis in the region.
Approximately 1.4 million people crossed the border between Sudan and South Sudan, fleeing war and adverse climate conditions. This massive flow of refugees has overloaded resources and humanitarian response capacity in the neighboring country.
The United Nations Children's Fund (Unicef) issued an appeal to the international community for more humanitarian support. The organization revealed that it has only managed to receive 44% of the funds it needs to address the crisis.
