The Sudanese pound has plummeted in value since May, accelerating inflation and driving up food costs at a time when humanitarian organizations are already struggling to meet demand. The currency’s sharp decline is worsening economic hardship, straining resources for aid workers already responding to deepening crises. With basic necessities becoming more expensive, the situation raises concerns about how long relief efforts can sustain vulnerable populations. The financial strain comes as Sudan faces overlapping challenges, including conflict and limited access to essential supplies.
Since May, the Sudanese pound has lost more than half of its value, pushing up food prices and putting more pressure on overstretched aid groups.
