   Emergency Relief - Sri Lanka

   At the start of 2022, Sri Lanka entered a period of economic and political crisis which has seen prices for essential goods and services soar. Depleted foreign reserves and soaring inflation have devastated Sri Lanka’s economy in recent months. The pandemic and the war in Ukraine have only made the situation worse. Food prices rose by 80% in June alone. With fuel and gas shortages, and daily power cuts, families are unable to travel to buy fresh food or prepare hot meals.
