South Sudan, Libya, Kashmir.

Today's three stories you should know.

South Sudan

Last month, Proximities included an item on the UN having to suspend food aid to 1.7 million people in South Sudan because funding had dried up. Now, the inevitable. People are dying. Aid workers told BBC that two children and an adult have died of starvation at a camp for displaced people in the north of the country. Sami Al Subaihi, a Médecins Sans Frontières worker at the camp, said he believed another 20,000 people were at risk of starvation there as many people - thin and weak - collapse from physical exhaustion. South Sudan, the world’s youngest nation, has been beset by conflict, drought and political instability since becoming independent in 2011.

Libya

Protesters today stormed Libya’s parliament building in the eastern city of Tobruk, smashing a bulldozer through the gates and burning down part of the building. The demonstrators told local media that they were angry over deteriorating standards of living and a political deadlock that has crippled much of the country for years. Libya has two competing governments and has been in a state of disarray and chaos since longtime leader Muammar Gaddafi was captured and killed in 2011.
