Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>Watering the neat lines of green salad leaves outside her thatched home, a South Sudanese Susan Konga living in a refugee camp in Northern Uganda is preparing her kitchen garden for the next harvest.<\/p>\n

This year the success of her tireless cultivation will be put to the test \u2013 complete self-sufficiency.<\/p>\n

Global crises like the war in Ukraine, the earthquake in Turkey and the drought in East Africa mean there\u2019s less food aid for people like Konga.<\/p>\n

A 50 percent shortfall in funds this year has forced the United Nations World Food Program (WFP) to cut off the food supply for hundreds of thousands of refugees in Uganda, which hosts more than any other country in Africa.<\/p>\n

After six years in Uganda, Konga a single mother must now rely entirely on the maize, cassava and salad leaves grown in her small vegetable patch.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe change in policy will make it difficult for me to adjust,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Konga worries she will not be able to grow enough surplus produce to sell to pay for her two nieces\u2019 school fees and other basic household supplies like soap.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me to become sustainable, it will take me more than three years because now I don\u2019t have enough land. If I\u2019m not supported, I can\u2019t stand on my own,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

WFP says vulnerable refugees such as new arrivals including the sick and elderly, will continue to receive emergency food aid but the organisation\u2019s $180 million funding shortfall means others will have to be weaned off it.<\/p>\n

\u201cDonors are having to make very difficult decisions because the needs are enormous globally,\u201d WFP Uganda Director Marcus Prior said.<\/p>\n

Konga said the rains have been good so far, but she will struggle to survive the periods between harvests.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are not yet stable. I plead to them to at least give us food so we can plan for what to do,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
