War and famine closely linked

In a paper that has just been published, Caritas Luxembourg highlights that war and famine are closely linked. Because of the war in Ukraine, countries like South Sudan, whose population and especially children are already suffering from malnutrition, will be even more vulnerable from a food point of view.

Caritas Luxembourg is already acting at different levels to fight against food insecurity: distribution of food to families, strengthening agriculture through specialised training for farmers and the distribution of tools and seeds, support for mothers to cultivate vegetable gardens, measures to diversify household food, etc.

In the coming months, it will be important to further support these people, who are also victims of the war in Ukraine, despite the distance between them and Ukraine.
