FAO Director: Crisis-hit South Sudan and Central African Republic have been ignored

Director of the Emergency and Rehabilitation Division at FAO, Dominique Burgeon, told EurActiv that South Sudan and Central Republic of Congo require urgent "international donor support".

Recent episodes of violence and looting in both countries have had a huge impact on 'the food security sector', forcing hundreds of people to abandon their homes. "The need of food assistance is huge', Burgeon said.
