Sudan Farmers Struggle with Low Nile Water Levels Amidst Conflict and Climate Crisis

Sudan. As the water level of the Nile River decreases in Sudan, farmers are struggling to find water for irrigation. With this year's late and low rainfall affecting agricultural production, some farmers have been forced to pray for rain.

The ongoing war in Sudan, rising prices of fuel and fertilizer, and a weak market, along with climate-related problems, have further pushed the agricultural sector into crisis. The conflict between the army and paramilitary forces, which has been ongoing since April 2023, has severely impacted the country's agricultural system.
