The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) stated Friday that the cost of sending aid to Sudan—currently home to the world’s largest displacement crisis—has more than doubled due to the war with Iran. Disrupted maritime shipping has led to surging costs and significant delays in aid arrivals. The UNHCR noted that worsening insecurity along major shipping routes in the Gulf region, including the Strait of Hormuz, alongside port congestion, rising fuel prices, and increased insurance premiums, have severely hindered aid delivery, particularly to Africa.
