Due to a budget constraint, the UN World Food Programme has had to postpone some food aid in South Sudan, where more than half of the population suffers from extreme food insecurity.
Conflict, flooding, drought, and skyrocketing food costs have all contributed to the problem, which has been compounded by the Ukraine crisis.
According to the World Food Programme, nearly 200,000 children will lose daily school meals as a result of the reduction.
These are described as vital safety net that helps South Sudanese youngsters stay in school.
"We are concerned about the impact of the funding reduction on children, women, and men who would go hungry during the lean season," said Adeyinka Badejo, WFP national director.
"If this trend continues, we may confront more serious and expensive issues in the future, such as higher mortality, hunger, stunting, and disease."
The World Food Programme is seeking more than $400 million (£330 million).
