The US government has announced additional $22 million dollars for humanitarian assistance to refugees and Internally Displaced Persons in South Sudan.

With the latest funding, the U.S. is providing more than 456 million dollars this fiscal year to those who have been affected by the conflict in South Sudan.

The additional money will be spent by international humanitarian agencies to provide access to clean water, food, health care, household items.

It will also provide job training on gender-based violence prevention and programs for child protection.

Earlier this month, a coalition of British aid organizations became the latest aid group to warn that parts of South Sudan may slip into famine by next month if more aid is not delivered.
