5. KEY DATES

11. CARITAS IN SOUTH SUDAN
Caritas Aotearoa New Zealand is partnering with Caritas South Sudan and other Caritas agencies to provide emergency supplies to those affected by the famine and conflict in South Sudan where millions of people face severe hunger. The extreme food shortage has been caused by civil unrest and drought. Thousands have been driven from their homes and crops by violence, and inflation has meant food prices are very high.
As part of the emergency response, Caritas is continuing to help in the following ways through our partners on the ground:
• Distributing emergency food supplies
• Distributing shelter and household items such as jerry cans, buckets, and other essentials
• Distributing seeds and tools
• Promoting peacebuilding
