Country shifts from currency to food aid
Food rations in refugee camps in South Sudan are becoming an actual substitute for money due to the deteriorating economy and the collapse of the local currency. Staples such as grains and peanut butter are more capable of preserving value than the South Sudanese Pound. The population is suffering from high inflation, which has approached 100%, prompting them to sell parts of their aid to meet basic needs like medicine and education. Trust in financial institutions and the government has declined across the board. The humanitarian situation has worsened, leading to increased reliance on food aid as a primary source of income and economic security.
