As you can see the small ruminants there, look you can see the health. They are looking fine.

41. SOUNDBITE (English) Meshack Malo, FAO Representative in South Sudan: "One of the main challenges currently is the dire food insecurity situation. In this country, we still have over 70% of people who, at one time or the other are not sure where they're going to get their next meal. The production levels are low and the lack of peace due to the fighting that has taken place. The country is yet to fully recover, so that food insecurity is a big challenge. Secondly, with the global challenge of climate change, it has not been spared. And so the country finds itself in this double challenge and sometimes even triple challenge with floods, with dry conditions."
