JUBA, Jan. 24 (Xinhua) -- The World Food Programme (WFP) on Tuesday launched a school feeding program aimed at supporting 23,000 children over the next three years in highly food-insecure areas of South Sudan.
Mary-Ellen McGroarty, country director for WFP in South Sudan, said during the launching ceremony in the South Sudanese capital of Juba that the support will be channeled into areas impacted by conflict and climate shocks, both of which cause significant disruptions to education and access to food.
