The UN humanitarian co-coordinator in South Sudan, Toby Lanzer, has been expelled from the country. The UN has condemned these actions and is asking South Sudan to reverse the decision. The months of fighting in the country has left about 40% of the population in need of food aid and has displaced over two million people. UN Secretary General says Lanzer was instrumental in providing humanitarian aid in South Sudan. Lanzer says he was not given a reason for his expulsion.
