Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence

World Vision Ireland: Discussion

10:00 am

Ms Niamh Cooper:

Yes. There are places in South Sudan in dire need that we cannot access. We are in places that are very dangerous. World Vision works with local staff working on the ground in those places. We have had to take staff out of certain areas because it has become too dangerous. It is an issue in many countries around the world, including South Sudan. This is one of the reasons we call on the international community to focus on it and do everything possible to assist us in bringing aid to those who desperately need it.
