In September 2014, the South Sudan IPC Technical Working Group projected that 2.5 million people would face Emergency (IPC Phase 4) and Crisis (IPC Phase 3) food insecurity levels between January and March 2015. This latest IPC Update confirms the earlier projection, but the distribution of food insecurity across the country has shifted. Key contributing factors to the country’s food insecurity are conflict-related population displacement, disruptions in livestock and crop-based production, high staple food prices, and high malnutrition.
