South Sudan is a country in East Africa with a complex history and ongoing humanitarian crisis. The nation has been plagued by civil war and instability since its independence from Sudan in 2011. Recently, the UN aid chief warned of a possible 'full-scale famine' due to intensifying fighting and rising humanitarian needs.
