UN Security Council unanimously called on South Sudan to prioritize the needs of its people. At a briefing in New York, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned Security Council members that the humanitarian crisis continues to deepen in South Sudan. The UN chief told the council that 100,000 South Sudanese are affected by famine, another one million are on the verge of famine, and more than 5 million will be severely food insecure by this summer. Guterres said, despite the alarm sounded by the United Nations and the international community over the crisis, the government has yet to express any meaningful concern or take any tangible steps to address the plight of its people.
