On the third anniversary of South Sudans independence the countrys humanitarian situation is in dire straits, Oxfam has reported. The worlds attention is elsewhere as Africas worst humanitarian catastrophe descends into more misery, the organisations Chief Executive mark Goldring said in a released statement. Embroiled in one of Africas worst crises approximately a third of the countrys population of 4m is at risk of hunger with aid reaching only half of those in need. The UN has warned that if the aid effort does not increase 50,000 children could die from malnutrition. Since the current crisis began in December last year fighting has forced 1.5 million people from their homes and numbers continuing to rise.
