23 people die from hunger in Terekeka state: official
At least 23 people had died of starvation in Tali County in South
Sudan’s Terekeka State since late June, a local official said.
Tali County Commissioner Angelo Maring told Radio Tamazuj on Tuesday
that his people are dying of hunger saying citizens have resorted to
extreme coping techniques of eating leaves from trees as food runs
out.
He pointed out that many people are suffering from diarrhoea from
eating the leaves every day.
The local official appealed to aid agencies to support the needy
people of Tali County as soon as possible.
Tens of thousands of South Sudanese have been killed and millions
displaced since the outbreak of war in the world's youngest nation in
December 2013.
