"About 50,000 children are at risk of death from the man-made crisis, as fighting disrupts farming and trade. According to UNICEF and the World Food Program, close to a third of South Sudan’s population faces “acute” or “emergency” levels of hunger and malnutrition. Thousands of children remain stranded in remote parts of the country, where they are at risk of starvation."
James Sprankle/For The Washington Post

The scale of the crisis in the world’s youngest country is staggering.
Since the violence erupted on 15 December 2013, about 900,000 children have been internally displaced. More than 13,000 children are missing, have been separated from their families or are unaccompanied. Over half the country's children are out of school -- the highest proportion of out-of-school children in the world. An estimated 16,000 children have been recruited by armed forces and groups since the conflict began. With traditional social structures damaged, children are also increasingly vulnerable to violence and to sexual abuse and exploitation. Meanwhile, 250,000 children face severe acute malnutrition.

The camps after a downpour

A "classroom" in one of the camps

 Nyarony Choing is almost 4 years old.
When civil war broke out eight month mother fled with her three children, winding up in a refugee camp inside a base run by the United Nations in the northern city of Malakal. Every time it rains, which is often, the floor of their tent disappears underwater, the thick, mud of the Nile basin mixing with the human excrement that flows freely in the camp.

“The only thing worse than the conditions we are living in,” said Nyabac Chan Yor, Nyarony’s 26-year-old mother, “is the condition of my daughter.”
By the time Nyarony’s family made it to the U.N. base, the 3-year-old was emaciated and suffering from acute malnutrition. Her feet had swollen to nearly twice their normal size — the result of water flooding into excess vascular space as her digestive system shut down — and her muscles had all but wasted away.
Nyarony is now gradually recovering after receiving medical treatment on the U.N. base, but thousands of children remain stranded in remote parts of the country, where they are at risk of starvation. Estimates are that 235,000 children could become dangerously malnourished by the end of the year, and 50,000 of them could die unless they get treatment.
