"In #SouthSudan's Eastern Equatoria state, the worsening #climate crisis has brought erratic rainfall, extended droughts, and #ExtremeEeather events, significantly affecting food security across the region.

These shocks, along with an invasion of birds, have disrupted agricultural activities, reduced crop yields, and intensified food shortages, leaving communities vulnerable to hunger and malnutrition."
