I would go into a bit of detail on just one of the crises that the Administrator of USAID faces so that everyone can truly understand the scale we are talking about. As a result of the war in South Sudan. 1.5 million people are internally displaced. More than 730.000 have crossed borders into Sudan. Ethiopia. and Uganda as refugees. The number of people facing severe food insecurity has almost doubled since the start of the year. from 2.5 million to an estimated 4.6 million people. including approximately 874.000 children under the age of 5. This is just one example and I could give you many more examples why it is critically important that we have a confirmed Administrator for USAID.
