Many vulnerable people living in crisis areas continue to suffer from the highest levels of food insecurity and cannot survive without sustained food assistance.
WFP says generous contributions from donors have enabled it to reach millions in need with lifesaving assistance.
As part of a prioritisation exercise driven by funding crunch, some 106,000 people displaced in camps in Wau, Juba and Bor South will from October not receive monthly food rations for the next three months and until the New Year.
