The UK has slashed its contribution to emergency food aid by around 30%.
According to agencies such as the UN’s World Food Programme, South Sudan which has a population of 11 million is “on the brink of famine”.
“We look at it so unfriendly and so inhuman to cut aid at this particular time. It is the time when we need the world’s attention like never before,” said the minister of humanitarian affairs, Peter Mayen Majongdit.
