Citizens in the UN Protection of Civilian’s Site (PoC) in Malakal town in South Sudan’s Upper Nile State have complained about high prices of essential commodities at the market within the site.
Speaking to Radio Tamazuj yesterday, several displaced persons said they were experiencing harsh humanitarian conditions due to increasing prices of goods inside the UN camp.
The further said life is difficult inside the UN camp because they are unable to earn anything and therefore they cannot afford soaring prices.
A displaced person explained that a piece of onion costs 150 SSP, while a kilo of meat reached 600 SSP at the market.
