According to the press release extended to Gurtong, the planning is to take place in close collaboration with South Sudanese people, institutions and authorities at the local, state and national levels in order to help inform the aid community’s response to the on-going crisis.
“South Sudan is home to one of the world’s largest aid operations, and the enormous needs we are seeing today are likely to persist into 2015,” said Toby Lanzer, the Humanitarian Coordinator in South Sudan.
“We look forward to working closely with national and local authorities, civil society organizations and conflict affected men, women and children of South Sudan to make sure that the aid operation is tailored to meet the most acute needs on the ground.”
“Nine months into the conflict, close to 1.8 million people have been uprooted from their homes, including over 450,000 people who have fled to neighbouring countries,” says the release.
“2.5 million People are projected to be severely food insecure between January and March 2015, and malnutrition threatens the lives of tens of thousands of children,” the report continues.
“So far this year, aid agencies have reached over 3 million people, many in remote and hard-to-reach areas,” OCHA said.
“To get the response right in a crisis of this magnitude, consultation is key,” continued Mr. Lanzer.
“The people of South Sudan know best what they need to get through this crisis, and we will reach out and do all we can to make sure that their perspectives are included in every stage of the planning for our work next year.”
