South Sudanese Find Refuge and Food in Ethiopia
Tens of thousands of refugees from South Sudan are pouring into Ethiopia, fleeing the fighting in their homeland. Humanitarian officials now forecast this country could host some 150,000 South Sudanese refugees by the end of 2014. WFP is distributing food rations to refugees in camps and border crossings, along with special, nutrient-packed foods for the most vulnerable. But the sheer numbers of new arrivals are straining the resources of the humanitarian community.
