War and famine have forced more than 2 million children in South Sudan to flee their homes, creating the most worrying refugee crisis in the world, the United Nations said.
In a country of 12 million people, nearly three in every four children do not go to school, UNHCR and the U.N. children's agency UNICF said. More than 1 million children have fled outside South Sudan while another 1 million are internally displaced.
"No refugee crisis today worries me more than South Sudan,” Valentin Tapsoba, the Africa chief for the U.N. refugee agency UNHCR, said in a statement.
