There is crop failure in most areas in Aweil East County and the factors causing the failure of the crop were the fall armyworms and most of the lowlands were washed by the floods,\u201d Commissioner Yor said.<\/p>\n<p>He said he is concerned about the looming hunger because an assessment done by humanitarian organizations estimated that 19,000 extended households will be in dire need of assistance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was a poor harvest in 2021 and it is one of the reasons we are worried about the hunger situation in 2022. There was an assessment carried out by the inter-agencies and the total people found affected are 19,000 households,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n<p>Asked if the people had received any humanitarian aid, Commissioner Yor acknowledged that the humanitarian partners distributed food rations to last three months to the affected communities.<\/p>\n<p>He added that the state government bought food from neighboring Sudan but they have not been imported yet due to insecurity along the route from Sudan.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/south-sudan\">South-Sudan<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Sudan.
