Akon Thon, a mother of 7, is among the thousands of internally-displaced persons (IDPs) South Sudan. The recent announcement of 50% food cuts starting April 2021 sent fear and hopelessness among the IDPs.

World Vision supports 1.1 million IDPs and refugees in the country through food assistance in partnership with World Food Programme.
