Over 7.5 million South Sudanese projected to face hunger next year, new IPC report warns

South Sudan is heading toward a worsening hunger crisis, with more than half of its population expected to face severe food shortages next year, according to a new national food security report released Tuesday in Juba.

The latest Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) analysis warns that about 7.56 million people could face crisis or worse levels of hunger during the 2026 lean season, from April to July.

The government is working on a preparedness plan to help communities grow more food, improve storage, and build resilience before the next lean season.”

UN Resident Coordinator Anita Kiki Gbeho said the data reflects the daily struggles of South Sudanese families trapped by conflict, floods, and poverty. “This is not just about food—it is about survival,” she said. “In places where peace has held, we’ve seen people recover and rebuild.

Officials warned that without peace and sustained assistance,
