JUBA cheap nike air max 270 online , Sept. 12 (Xinhua) -- The World Bank has donated 50 million U.S. dollars to three United Nations agencies to help address food insecurity and malnutrition in South Sudan, officials said on Tuesday.
The UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the UN children's fund (UNICEF) and the World Food Programme (WFP) said the World Bank's support, channeled through South Sudan's ministry of agriculture, is vital to maintain the momentum of helping millions of men, women and children who would face starvation without sustained assistance.
"With half of South Sudan's population struggling to feed itself and more than one million children suffering from acute malnutrition cheap nike air max 270 shoes , this is vital assistance that will save many lives, while helping communities to help themselves," said Mahimbo Mdoe, UNICEF's Representative in South Sudan.
Famine conditions in the war-torn country have abated due to the massive emergency response, including large-scale food and nutrition assistance.
However, the UN agencies disclosed that six million people still do not know where their next meal will come from.
Across the country cheap nike air max 270 , more than 1.1 million children are estimated to suffer from malnutrition, with almost 290,000 severely malnourished in need of urgent humanitarian aid.
"The contribution from the World Bank is a step in the right direction towards ending hunger and malnutrition, which both threaten lives and are impediments to child development," said Adnan Khan, WFP Representative in South Sudan.
WFP will receive nearly 26 million dollars for food and nutrition assistance to 110 cheap nike air max flair womens ,000 people particularly in areas with acute hunger and threatened by famine.
"Thanks to the funding from the World Bank, we can work towards a sustainable future by supporting the most vulnerable farmers, pastoralists and fisher folk rebuild their livelihoods," FAO's Representative in South Sudan Serge Tissot said.
FAO will receive nearly 8 million dollars to support the recovery of crop, livestock and fisheries production in areas hard hit by food insecurity.
The UN agencies will have individual agreements with the government but will work closely together in the emergency response.
WFP has assisted 4.2 million people in South Sudan so far this year, the highest number of people reached by WFP in South Sudan since independence. In July cheap nike air max flair mens , WFP provided food and nutrition assistance for 2.9 million people.
FAO has assisted 3.9 million people with emergency livelihood kits (fishing, vegetable and crop), and reached 3.1 million livestock under an animal health campaign. In the coming months, FAO will be scaling up its response to farmers in the second planting season in the Equatorias.
UNICEF has ensured 1.5 million children (aged 6 to 59 months) received vitamin A supplementation, and more than 1.1 million children (aged 12 to 59 months) received Albandazole-deworming tablets, in 2017.
UNICEF has also assisted more than 120 cheap nike air max flair ,000 children since January this year, who were admitted into outpatient therapeutic programmes and stabilization center services across the country for the treatment of severe acute malnutrition.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 5 (Xinhua) -- An international team of astronomers discovered emission from clouds of cold cosmic dust surrounding the Earth-sized temperate world Proxima b cheap nike air max tn womens , discovered in 2016 and the closest planet to the Solar System, and believed there may be more hidden planets yet to find.
"The dust around Proxima is important because, following the discovery of the terrestrial planet Proxima b, it's the first indication of the presence of an elaborate planetary system, and not just a single planet, around the star closest to our Sun cheap nike air max tn mens ," Guillem Anglada, the lead author of the new study, was quoted as saying in a news release.
Dust belts are the remains of material that did not form into larger bodies such as planets. The particles of rock and ice in these belts vary in size from the tiniest dust grain, smaller than a millimetre across, up to asteroid-like bodies many kilometres in diameter.
Proxima Centauri, the closest star to the Sun cheap nike air max tn white , is a faint red dwarf lying just four light-years away in the southern constellation of Centaurus (The Centaur).
According to the new Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) observations, detailed in a study to appear in Astrophysical Journal Letters, dust appears to lie in a belt that extends a few hundred million kilometres from Proxima Ce.
