SOUTH SUDAN
Bentiu, South Sudan—As famine strikes the region, a woman and her children rest in the pediatric ward of a Doctors Without Borders hospital on March 23. Famine and starvation are threatening over 20 million people across South Sudan, Somalia and Nigeria. “We are facing the largest humanitarian crisis since the creation of the United Nations,” U.N. Emergency Relief Coordinator Stephen O’Brien told the Security Council on March 10. “We need $4.4 billion by July, and that’s a detailed cost, not a negotiating number.”
