    Meanwhile, WFP said it had started emergency food distributions to nearly 50,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs) who had started arriving in the Bentiu, Upper Nile State, and in Rubkona in Unity State since the beginning of the month.

    “Recent nutritional surveys showed global malnutrition rates of 28.6 percent in Bentiu, and 30 percent in Rubkona,” the statement said. “WFP replenished its stocks in the two towns during the week and provided additional food for supplementary feeding of the malnourished children.”
