South Sudan clashes stopping aid reaching 60,000 malnourished children: UN

Intense fighting in South Sudan has prevented desperately needed food from reaching some 60,000 malnourished children for almost a month, the United Nations said on Thursday. In a joint statement the World Food Programme (WFP) and the United Nation's children's agency, UNICEF, warned that escalating fighting along the White Nile river -- a major transport route -- has meant "no humanitarian supplies have reached the area in almost a month".
