Malnutrition caused by ethnic conflict in South Sudan could kill 50,000 children

The United Nations warned today that as many as 50,000 children could die as a result of recent conflict between ethnic rebels, reports abc news.

The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) predicted that at least 50,000 children will die in South Sudan by the end of this year due to malnutrition.

The latest findings come as the EU last week placed sanctions on key leaders from both sides of the ethnic conflict in an attempt to de-escalate the situation.
