Dimo Silva Aurelio

   JUBA, SOUTH SUDAN - Germany has donated $10.9 million to the United
   Nations World Food Program (WFP) to provide food aid to communities
   hard hit by widespread flooding across South Sudan. A WFP official who
   just returned from Pibor said the flooding is a real emergency that
   requires an immediate response.

   The WFP country director for South Sudan, Matthew Hollingworth,said
   Germany's donation will put a major dent in the amount the U.N. agency
   needs to respond to the humanitarian emergency.
