South Sudan’s Deadly Aid Crisis | Philadelphia News

South Sudan is turning into a deadly zone for aid workers, with at least 36 deaths since January—surpassing last year’s total. The UN is demanding investigations into every death, especially since most victims are local South Sudanese. Violence against aid teams has surged, with over 450 incidents reported in just seven months, more than double last year. With 10 million people in dire need—including 7.5 million facing extreme hunger—and a massive funding gap threatening refugee aid, humanitarian groups are urgently calling on the government and peace actors to protect workers and ensure lifesaving supplies reach those in crisis.
