The limited funding of the Humanitarian Action for Children (HAC), currently with a 72 per cent funding gap, has restricted the ability to reach all intended beneficiaries with critical lifesaving support despite UNICEF's efforts to assist the most vulnerable
FUNDING OVERVIEW AND PARTNERSHIPS
The South Sudan Humanitarian Action for Children (HAC), aligned with the Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan (HNRP), remains severely underfunded, with a 72 per cent funding gap despite generous contributions from various donors. Additionally, extreme flooding impacted over 735,000 people, increasing the need for urgent resources to address risks related to displacement, loss of livelihoods, and waterborne diseases. Immediate funding is essential to prevent further deterioration of the situation and protect vulnerable populations.
In South Sudan, ongoing conflicts, widespread displacement, prolonged flooding, and disease outbreaks have left 9 million people, including 4.9 million children, in need of humanitarian assistance.
UNICEF plans to provide aid to over 5.2 million individuals, with 3.4 million of them being children. More than 821,000 South Sudanese returnees and refugees, including over 413,000 children, have fled to South Sudan, all requiring immediate life-saving support. The crisis has been worsened by the devaluation of the South Sudanese pound and the conflict in neighboring Sudan.
