Highlights
South Sudanese continue to cross the border into Uganda, Kenya, Ethiopia and Sudan. Even though the number of new arrivals has stabilized, the situation remains precarious.
More than 150,000 South Sudanese have arrived since mid-December and UNHCR pro- jects that the number could rise to 320,000 by the end of the year.
WFP assists new arrivals at border crossings, reception centres and camps, with a particular focus on the nutritional status of children and pregnant and breastfeeding women. Coordina- tion with UNHCR ensures that assistance is timely and effective under difficult circum- stances.
