Families in Khartoum, Sudan’s capital, are struggling to survive as soaring food prices and shrinking incomes force them to borrow money and skip meals.
The war that has raged across Sudan has disrupted supply chains and pushed the cost of basic staples to record highs, while wages have failed to keep pace. The result is a growing crisis in the city’s most vulnerable households.
Many residents are turning to informal lenders and friends to cover the cost of groceries. “We have to borrow just to buy a few items of food,” one mother told reporters, though the source did not provide a name.
When cash runs short, some families are forced to skip meals entirely. The lack of affordable food and the pressure to stretch limited budgets have made daily sustenance a challenge for many Khartoum residents.
With the conflict and inflation continuing to erode living standards, the situation in Sudan’s capital remains dire, and the need for relief and economic support is urgent.
