		Food security in Northern Bahr el Ghazal had become fragile due to shortages of off-farm food resources and the exhaustion of other dry-season livelihood options, the Famine Early Warning System Network (FEWS Net) said in its South Sudan Food Security Warning Report, which was issued on 20 May.
		It warned of "an extended and more difficult hunger season, especially in [the] Bahr el Ghazal region.” The report explained that "[a]lthough better-off households should be able to meet their food needs until the next harvest, poor households will face significant food gaps between May and August."
		In addition to substantial reductions in fish and wild foods on which households typically rely between January and May, "last year’s sorghum harvest was poor in many areas, and the large number of empty-handed returnees increases the pressure on tight local resources," FEWS Net said.

		Over 1,100 children are being treated for malnutrition in seven MSF feeding centres in Bahr El Ghazal, and at least three more therapeutic (intensive) feeding centres will be opened in the next couple of weeks.
		Because the cost of flying supplies into these inaccessible areas is relatively high, it costs an average of £15 a week to treat each child for malnutrition; most stay an average of one month before they are healthy enough to leave the feeding centres.
		MSF's head of mission for Bahr El Ghazal, Marc Hermant said,"because these people are weakened by hunger, they are even more at risk of dying from easily preventable diseases such as diarrhoea and malaria; this is why we need to bring as many supplies as possible while it is still possible to fly in".
