The director-general of the International Committee of the Red Cross warned that South Sudan is "a forgotten conflict" facing a "humanitarian crisis" made worse by the pandemic, while the UN chief cautioned that 60% of people in the world´s newest nation are "increasingly hungry."
South Sudan has been struggling to recover from five years of war that at least one study says killed almost 400,000 people. A coalition government formed last year between President Salva Kiir and opposition leader Riek Machar is implementing a peace deal behind schedule, while deadly violence continues in parts of the country.
