Sharp rise in prices of bulila, a lentil dish, threatens one of the last food refuges for Khartoum residents

Khartoum, Sudan ·

The price of lentil bulila, a simple meal that many families relied on as a last resort, has jumped to unprecedented levels. The increase adds to the strain on families already struggling with harsh living conditions in the city.

Sudan has been in an economic crisis since fighting broke out in April 2023 between the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, which has disrupted supply chains and pushed up food prices across much of the country.
