By the end of 2014, there were an estimated 1.5 million IDPs in South Sudan and 469,000 new South Sudanese refugees in neighbouring countries. Furthermore, as a result of massive displacement, widespread losses to livelihoods, and disruptions to harvest and commodity flows in important trade corridors, the country was on the brink of a major food insecurity crisis, with 2.5 million people projected to be in IPC Crisis or Emergency phases from January to March 2015, and a total of 5.8 million people in need of external assistance to feed themselves.
