"Our teams in Sudan report massive price rises. Fuel has become up to 80% more expensive, and basic foodstuffs like wheat by around 70%. The costs of delivering aid have also risen sharply, reducing the number of deliveries it was possible for groups like ours to supply."
"I'm also worried about the longer-term impact here, because all the fertilizer in the country comes from the Persian Gulf, and there is even lack of access to that fertilizer."
Aid officials in Berlin reported that the ongoing war in Iran is significantly affecting food and fuel supplies in Sudan, which is already facing a civil war. Prices for essentials have surged, with fuel costs rising by up to 80% and wheat prices increasing by around 70%. Approximately 19 million people in Sudan are at risk of acute hunger, and the conflict has displaced over 11 million individuals. The country relies heavily on the Gulf region for fertilizer, which is now in jeopardy due to disruptions in deliveries.
