Highlights
· WFP urgently requires USD 77 million for the next six months to meet refugee needs in Ethiopia, Kenya, Sudan and Uganda. In Kenya, WFP started 30 percent ration cuts in the second round of June distributions. In Uganda and Sudan, WFP will face pipeline breaks in the coming months if additional resources are not secured soon.
· Deteriorating food security and renewed fighting have increased population movement within South Sudan and may compel more people to seek refuge in neighbouring countries. So far, more than 610,000 South Sudanese refugees have crossed the borders into Ethiopia, Kenya, Sudan and Uganda.
· In Ethiopia and Uganda, UN agencies are working with the governments and NGO partners to support preparedness and treatment interventions for disease outbreaks.
