<p>The UN’s September Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) report shows
that South Sudanese people are experiencing food insecurity at unprecedented levels.
A massive aid effort, which included £100 million provided by the Department for International
Development, alleviated the famine declared in February this year. However, 6 million
people, or 56% of the population, are now estimated to be severely food insecure,
and 1.2 million are on the brink of famine.</p><p>The UK is at the forefront of the
international response to the crisis. Through the Humanitarian and Resilience Building
in South Sudan programme, the Department for International Development will provide
£443 million in humanitarian aid between 2015 and 2020 to support the provision of
food, emergency shelter, and nutrition and health services, including our response
to famine and severe food insecurity.</p>
