New fighting in South Sudan has caused a big problem. Many people have left their homes. Aid groups have trouble helping people because of the fighting. The violence has stopped important services. It has also made it harder to get food. Many people are now very hungry.
Ajok Ding Duot and her family are in Lakes State. They are hiding from the fighting. They arrived two weeks ago. They do not know what will happen next. They need help from aid groups. Duot said she does not know why the government is fighting. The people do not understand. They only get help from aid groups.
The fighting is worst in Jonglei State. Many people have left their homes since December. About 280,000 people are now homeless. Over 235,000 are from Jonglei State. The fighting makes it hard for aid workers. They cannot bring food and medicine. The United Nations is worried about the danger.
This fighting has very bad results. It is hard to get food and medicine. In Jonglei State, there are no medical services. People who are sick cannot get help. Farming is stopped. Markets are closed. Many buildings are destroyed. This means people are very hungry. UNICEF said 450,000 children are in danger of being very sick from hunger.
People are looking for food like nuts and fruits. This shows there is not enough food. Without help, people struggle to live. Fighting happens often in South Sudan. This stops the country from getting better. The world needs to help. They need to stop the fighting and help the people. If nothing is done, the problems will get worse.
