Sudan: Soaring Prices, Water Shortages Deepen Hardship in Port Sudan

Port Sudan — Residents of Port Sudan are struggling to afford food and other essentials as prices rise and drinking-water shortages add to the pressure on households. The rising cost of basic goods is putting food and household necessities beyond the reach of many families.

Fawzia Jib Allah Bakhit, a housewife, tells Radio Dabanga that prices are rising uncontrollably, with no apparent limit. Residents, she says, wake up each morning worrying about how they will provide food for their families.
