The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has agreed to provide emergency financing support worth about $114.8 million to South Sudan, where millions face food insecurity.
“This emergency financing under the Food Shock Window will help South Sudan address food insecurity while maintaining social and growth-enhancing spending," the IMF said in a statement.
The International Monetary Fund said that 4 years of severe floods, in addition to the war in Ukraine and the Corona pandemic, exacerbated the already dire humanitarian situation, as about 8.3 million people, or two-thirds of the population, face severe food insecurity.
