Citizens in the UN Protection of Civilian’s Site (PoC) in Malakal town in South Sudan’s Upper Nile State have complained about rising prices of commodities at the market within the site.
Peter Deng, a displaced person sheltering inside the UN base, told Radio Tamazuj yesterday that they were experiencing harsh humanitarian conditions due to increasing prices of goods inside the UN camp.
Peter explained that the prices of essential commodities such as meat, onions, and sugar are increasing these days. He added that they depend on food rations provided by humanitarian organizations.
“The situation inside the UN camp is very bad because the prices of commodities are increasing, the citizens are suffering, we depend on the food distributed by the organizations inside the camp,” said Deng.
