Oxfam concerned about crisis arising from conflict and unseasonal rains

Food security is not something most Australians have to worry about too much, but Oxfam is encouraging us to move it the centre of our thinking.

The Oxfam website present carries a story headed: “South Sudan warning: respond to humanitarian crisis now or face catastrophe” in which it attributes the impending difficulties to unseasonal rains and conflict.

Conflict always worsens any difficulty, but it is the former, the unseasonal rains, and the resultant food insecurity that further aggravates the trouble faced by the Sudanese people.
