4.6 million people require humanitarian assistance in South Sudan
• In mid-November, the U.N. released the 2013 Consolidated Appeal (CAP) for South Sudan, requesting approximately $1.16 billion to address the emergency needs of 4.6 million people. Insufficient harvests in 2012, high commodity and fuel prices, continued refugee arrivals from Sudan, conflict-related internal displacement, and seasonal flooding drive humanitarian needs in South Sudan.
