Prayer

Pray for all the agencies working to feed the hungry in South Sudan. The nutrition position has worsened and been described as ‘catastrophic’ by UNICEF as a result of insecurity, inaccessible roads and soaring prices. A quarter of a million children are reported to be facing severe malnutrition; seven of the ten states have reached the ‘malnutrition emergency rate’ of 15%, and in northern Bahr-el-Ghazal it is 33%. Continue to pray for peace in this fragile nation and an end to the ethnic tensions that are fuelling the conflict.
