South Sudan is facing a severe humanitarian crisis characterized by ongoing conflict, mass displacement, acute food insecurity, and escalating health emergencies.
As of February 2025, South Sudan continues to grapple with profound humanitarian challenges. Ongoing internal conflicts have displaced millions within South Sudan. Additionally, the civil war in neighboring Sudan has forced over 1 million refugees into South Sudan, further straining limited resources. South Sudan's economic crisis has led to the taxation of humanitarian aid deliveries, hindering relief efforts.
An estimated 6.1 million people in South Sudan are facing severe food insecurity, exacerbated by conflict, economic instability, and climate shocks. The nation is also experiencing a resurgence of cholera outbreaks, with over 10,000 new cases reported in January 20225, according to WHO.
For the sixth consecutive year, South Sudan has suffered massive flooding, affecting 735,000 people and displacing 65,000. The multi-faceted crisis has led to a significant increase in gender-based violence, including sexual violence and exploitation.
Immediate and sustained international support is crucial to address these compounding challenges, focusing on enhancing food security, healthcare services, and protection for vulnerable populations.
Petronas, Malaysia’s energy corporation, initiated the Water for Life program to improve access to clean water. They installed tens of thousands of solar-powered wells, capable of producing substantial quantities of safe drinking water daily, for sanitation and health purposes as well as boosting local agricultural production.
