"We are eating grass because there is no food." - South Sudan | UNICEF

- Everyday, when Nyabel Wal thinks of preparing food for her family of five, she has only one option: to harvest the wild grass that grows near her home. Subscribe to UNICEF here: bit.ly/1ltTE3m.
Known locally as 'woor', the plant grows virtually everywhere in South Sudan, and it is believed to be the only weed sustaining the deteriorating lives of thousands of people in Upper Nile State from starvation, but it is far from enough to remain healthy. Nyabel’s baby, who was found to be suffering from severe acute malnutrition, is one of hundreds of thousands of children in South Sudan’s three most conflict-affected states who remains at imminent risk of death and disease.
Help us reach South Sudan's children with life-saving aid: uni.cf/helpsouthsudan.
UNICEF - with support from the humanitarian arm of the European Commission (ECHO), IKEA and the Government of Japan - has deployed a rapid response team to reach remote areas with desperately needed services, like health screening and treatment, as well as life-saving supplies, such as ready-to-use therapeutic foods, micronutrient supplements and medicines.

Yall should not just provide but teach how to grow and sustain food for their future. It's a sad cycle
Hazam-101 agree
Thank you very much for your comments and I am agree with you because they should know how to grow sustainable agriculture.
@@ShafiqulIslam-iu4qq that is kind of the problem in underdeveloped countries though... sort of.. most people rely to much to make money off of agriculture
David Limon 👏👏👏
@Bob Frapples well when you're bored while waiting for food aid and there's not many entertainment, clapping the girl's cheek will help you pass the time 🤣
May God bless food for your entire family .
We in Europe drop so much food while they haven't got any food. It's terrible .
There is an excellent ministry called Harvest Gardens that works to grow vegetable gardens in impoverished areas. Each garden costs £500 and can be named by the sponsor or sponsors. They go to a community and teach them the techniques to yield great results to produce food enough to feed 50 people in the first year, so initially that is £10 per head for a year. Then after that they can feed 200 and sell produce in the market and educate surrounding villages that become curious. It's a wonderful initiative.
God brought me here to watch this video, I watch them it makes me sad, If i was there and had food I will give them and watch them eat it, brings me joy! I will never give up on people who need help! I Love them as much I care about them! Spread love and respect to South Sudan!❤️
I heard that all the donations actually perpetuate this problem. As in, why would people buy food from the local farmers when it is being shipped in and given away for free? etc
They actually donate to the farmers and some money for people to buy the farmer
grass is nutritious and healthy
i just want to go there and give them food
Yeah :( me too. I would spend all of my money to buy them food ;(
would you risk to die from ebola?
AlexRaGeAHoLiC Lmao Your Hella Selfish Broski
Then join international service if you want to help them .
You can also do for your country's poor or suffering people.
Only you need is courage .

dude i feel so sick, im here eating away on snacks when there are babies who are starving.
OriLead AND THE DOG😭😭😭😭
and me
@@irenedavo3768 i think maybe the weather is just not suitable for farming, i wonder why can't they just help them MOVE.... move to the next village. or find a place where the water system can be built. if that place is not good for living, find somewhere to MOVE. isn't what the people do in the old time?! ..
Thanks for the great work your doing Mugala
Why does she have a family of 5? She is Starving and has more children?
The preference for sons. Did you learn about geography?..
+Michaelangelo Chiang You know Son is a boy, it is not a place. So how is a son part of geography. So what about the starving families that have 6-8 or even 10 children and they want another?
Awakened Spirit okay, so do you know what HRPG is? And what LRPG is? In places like that, they have low population of growth and they want many "boys" to work for their family. Its simple as that.
Awakened Spirit And also farm labour.
+Michaelangelo Chiang You ask Do I know what HRPG & LRPG is but you yourself do not even say. You do realize those two abbreviations have many different meanings. Ok then explain like in Ethiopia where women have 10 children and they and their children are starving. Instead of trying to get more food. They just want to have more children.
Why aren't there fruit trees everywhere? Other things seem plentiful and easy to grow here.
Buy some land in every likewise area and plant fruits for year round
Need more volunteers (open for international students/professionals, anyone) , organization, funding and implement programs for the people, do more in agriculture, water, plant for food. No one should be starving.
Why eat small wild grass if theres Giant reed tall grass behind u, that tall grass is more edible to eat. U can make a flour by dried its young roots, or boiled them. U can make asparagus soup through its young shoots, etc.
Thats what I tought too😭
Don't blame them, they're just lack of education.
The knowledge to do that is needed is missing...
That is not grass they are eating. That is PURSLANE and is far healthier than Kale - Swiss Chard - Bok Choi - Spinach - Lettuce or most of the organic greens we buy at Whole Foods.
yes, i noticed the corn.
I saw the corn to.
It's actually Bamboo. Search "Giant Reed" on a google image search.
Me too bro
Figliare di meno
No check probably video thare is corn 🌽.
For the last time Jesus says build homes for all those people in need and food for ever
I think they are eating vegetables. South Sudanese they don't know the difference between grass and vegetables. My mother cultivated vegetables around our house during the 21 years of war and other members of the community did not know how she did it. My father was in another country teaching. We cultivated with her too as children. We were healthy and she kept us safe. I think South Sudanese need to be taught how to grow food, that country is very fertile. People just have to start working and they will be okay. And where are the men? I always see women and their children begging for the UN WFP. Let men go back to the villages to protect their families since the war has ceased now. Grow food, sell and have it for consumption too. Bless South 2020!!

"Guess I'll go eat my garden".
I guess
This is a serious 👁️ opener.
Let not just talk about it let do something
Govt. Help them growing vegetables cron fruits
Great job boy.May allah bless your family

i wounder if any of the tree leaves are edible.
Rich people are becoming richer on the other hand no food to eat.. It's so saddening.. God bless them bless with food and good life...
and sexual education
@@annamariacapra4667 true and agriculture too.
That’s not corn you can’t even see one husk on any of those , that’s bamboo
introduce Cuy as a meat source..they eat grass and reproduce rather fast.. and moringa trees outside each home would benefit them greatly
I understand them
isnt that a corn field behind them?
It's actually Bamboo. Search "Giant Reed" on a google image search.
In ur own words, how do you produce corn?
I don't know what the people in Africa have or don't have but god loves all of his people no matter what I think about the food that we waste in America it's an shame some of these shelters cook food and then throw away a lot of it how many people in the world would be so glad and thankful and happy to just be able to get a meal and something to drink
But why don’t they grow their own vegetables?
That's not grass and I can confirm it because I have eaten it for many years and in fact its my favorite.
If in the past people who go on trips on holiday, came hear with food and resources. We wouldn't have these problems.
Please research before you put up stuff, they are not wild grass what they are eating, it is a plant of nutritive value and it is better than processed food.
Thanks finally someone who understands .I'm south sudanese and I know that's not grass ,it's a type of food we eat .
Indeed they were suffering but why wasn't the maize here at 0:18 addressed in the video
That’s not wild grass .. thts one of the most nutritious plants.. purslane and Amaranth.. it’s used in India to make curries with lentils or is sautéed with coconut. But just eating tht is not enough off course.
That is what I said.
I am American amd I eat wild purslane as a main part of My diet.
There's a corn field right behind her hopefully she will cook some corn to eat.
We could all learn to share
Thanks bro
Grass is good source of food and healthy
UN NEED TO MAKE THE PEOPLE TO GIVE COURAGE TO LIVE THEIR OWN LAND UN need to support to take responsibility
Nice video. Horrendous situation. Thanks for the work of UNICEF.
This sentence is weird...
"Much needed support from the international community, its urgently needed."
around 3:00
Contraception is what they need
Also good sexual and financial education...
What they need is a proper, stable democracy and a country that isn't at war with itself.
These are people with real problems and the people we should be aiding instead of turning out backs we will pay for the suffering of these people for allowing it to happen it shows the true heart of these so-called Nations and governments
That's not grass it is called rigla and it one of popular green in Sudan and south Sudan.
Purslane is very good food
I wanted to be a volunteer to unicef. Please tell me how. Thanks
Fate meno figli che è meglio
i looked up for volunteering ... some organization charge up to 3000-5000 USD for a 20 days volunteering - teaching english in some part of Africa. *air ticket is NOT included. i wonder where are all those money go. but are they kidding me.... 3000-5000 USD. i am sure i will be eating nothing there, and live maybe in a tent, with water. but does it actually cost that much for me to be there and help? given that, i am taking my own risk in ... the disease that i am not even sure my body have the immunization for.
Hard to believe there is not a single living animal or insect they can kill for food...I hear birds and bugs...this makes no sense
God save their life 🙏
Why does a class of filthy rich people exist when there are people on this world living like this. It’s a stupid system we live in nowadays. Wake up!
Bro I agree love you 😍👍
Is the corn?Which behind the woman?
Poor babies
If any one from there read my comment then I have a solution for this and the solution is HEN grown on insects and to grow insects I have a technique.... Just take farm waste like leaves,grass etc and put them in a plastic bag to ferment for 2-8 days depending on the temperature them place them in open after some time flies appears there and put their larvae on that bin and you need to continue do this and it will give you continuous supply larvae of different species for your hen you can aslo feed insects on cow or goat dung
If you want to eat insects that's up to you but no thanks and don't you think they have tried it if they are eating grass
year by year why always babies? where they come from if they starving?
Bad or nonexistent sexual education.
They need seeds to be able to grow their own produce.
Chinese industrialists are exactly doing that. Its just getting slandered by liberal Western media as "political encroachment"
How can we donate
i see food. a lot of food.
theres corn behind you?
Mundo cão. Enquanto uns tentam comer outros tentam fazer dietas. :-(
letting go of the services the provide I still can't go home I will be eating grass and sleeping in a truck or on the concrete with blanket the give! they can't knock and state it's wrong! having a child would be me and a child!
They are much more nutritious than burger stuffs...
corn field
"family of five"......well, there's your problem
Hank Fuckerson shut up
hes not wrong, if dont want more mouths to feed then dont have kids
So her baby was breastfeeding but she left it behind for 6 days who was going to look after it and who was going to feed it when she wasn't there it's easy to have children but you have to look after them not just get another as she seems to be thinking. People are getting fed up of this Yemen Sudan South Sudan Somalia Syria Afghanistan dr congo the list goes on some of them I get others they fight the war and others feed the population something has got to change
Now i feel bad i can't finish this double cheeseburger..

What really bothers me is all the pets and animals starving! What about them?
Eat them
@@bigpp1540 Really? Thats disgusting!!!🙄🙄🙄
I'm sorry...what? So starving children don't faze you but instead animals that are literally Wild and can travel major distances to scavenge for food while the family cannot. I hope they eat them honestly
this is the true veganism
Very sad south sudan need more help but alot of robbers and murders Mafia Motorcycle Jungle Mafia war Corruption gaverment alot of eritrean afread to Live and work south sudan is Not have Freedom in they are own Country

Cara UNICEF fa tantissimo bene , ma insegnate alle donne a usare gli anticoncezionali diaframma pillola anticoncezionale taglio delle tube forse ci sarà un po' meno sofferenza x i figli risposta in italiano x favore grazie v
I think I saw a cattle? That's food.
We don't consider beef as a food in our culture ,it's mostly eaten during occasions or after traditional rituals .cattle are very important in the culture they symbolize wealth.
So sad
It sad let do something about
I feel very sorry about... wait a minute! Is that a cornfield behind them??!!
It's actually Bamboo. Search "Giant Reed" on a google image search.
Are you sure.. it looks very much like maize or sorghum.. but even then it wud b seasonal right
ma continuano a sfornare bambini come fossero biscotti
Povero cane..!! 🐶❤
This is not grass people (may be it is a red spinach/sagh)... And what about the cornfield 🌽 in the background... And do stop feeding processed food to infant #doresearchproperly 🔍
Your right ,I'm South Sudanese and I know it's not grass ,just lack of translation.its actually a type of food we eat .even the translation is not right , I understand what the lady is saying .
@modis same in the U.S people waste food. They do not know what they have until they lose it
Портулак с амарантусом замесил красота же
if there is NO food, why are they still making babies? they KNEW they don't have what it needs to bring up the kid, yes, it is their freedom to have kids. but like in any modern first world countries, people are choosing not to have kids, or have a small family for better quality of life.
shouldn't they have the right to learn about this mentality? instead of telling people it is their freedom to have kids, then everyone need to help them, because u will be too cruel if you don't. indeed, most of the donations can't actually provide any help? but into the pocket of others
Yes but what are you doing to help the situation
What makes me angry with my kids? whenever they haven't finished their meal😢
Rip meals
That's a great way to instill eating disorders with your kids/cause obesity. Let them eat until they're full, then you adjust the portion size to something reasonable for the next meal. Don't blame your kids because first world governments would rather pay their farmers to till their crop into the ground to keep the price high than send it to starving people.
What makes you angry with your kids when they waste food you can't compare the 2 because your kids not wasting food will not make any difference to their not having enough and your kids will know that probably more than you seem to do and will end up feeling your unfair and unconsistant and they will end up resenting you because of it
Animals can eat it, can't they eat animals 🤔
All they really need is some seeds to grow some plants
Dancecute Nadiyyah water.... Just hush
LoL ReplayBaby they get they water somewhere
Old film.
continuo sin comprender xq tienen y ustedes permiten q tengan hijos con uno basta y sibra
They've been starving since the 1960's ???????? Hunter Gatherer lifestyle it appears
Vegan diet
Be grateful
So what? i forage for wild edible plants all the time on my land in South Carolina. One person can live quite easily off the wild plants on only 5 acres of land, its called Homesteading, and a lot of people are doing it now. Its not the lack of food that drives these people hungry, its due to extreme ignorance. These people dont know how to manage their crops, and how to identify useful wild edibles.
But why r they still having kids
We can go and help than just talking online
@@marcusee7186 no if you help then they will have 7 kids to feed 3 times a day for 18 years
@@MoneyMan28 bro they not dumb just bluid schools invest business to this country the will be more jobs. They need a tourist destination place which will bring a lot of money to country. And yes it is our responsibility to help one another because We are part of God's family
Empatie zero
I don't need transation I speak fluent nuer
I don’t know about South Sudan but Trump cut all birth control help to any women’s clinics in Africa if the clinics also did abortions.
Vegans eat grass they recommend it
How dare you make fun about this, you small minded human failure
😐 hmmmm social studies got me curious...why does she have kids
They don't seem to be working so they're just mouths to feed and there doesn't seem to be a man there taking care and be giving her kids so why is she even doing IT she shoild be solo, what are they leaving out I'm confused
Lack of proper sexual education is a possibility...

I’m eating a fat ass meal broke boiiiiii
Really bro. You are going to eat your meal in hell if you want to be like that. It not funny your not funny. Do something. Please don't be a troll online especially on things like this
Sorry to says, you have time to make so many kids and which can't even feed them well and not even know how to educate them. Please just work hard on your own ground of yours instead always wait for other to feeds you. While make others feel sorry for you and make me feel bad for not helping while I m here work so stress and can't even have kids and you have so many and expect ppl to help. Showing all this picture and like advertisement.
jacquelin Eng woww what a selfish judgement. The main reason is there are not educated like you they wouldn't know having more children can lead to consequences. They may also be too poor to buy condoms. And do you know there are rebellious groups that kill people and rape women. So yeah keep living in your bubble and consider yourself more miserable than them while you use UA-cam and they starve to death
Keep believing this propaganda
Of course. Propaganda to guilt trip gullible westerner like you tp donate money into perpetuating the cycle of suffering.
Hey look, what are the Chinese doing here with their factories and tractors? Are they enslaving the Africans? I think so!
