Many households earning two thousand South Sudanese Pounds or less have now dropped into the poverty segment.
The Sudd Institute reports the situation placed majority of the South Sudanese in hardship.
Economic deprivation has grave consequences for one’s health, it adds.
The Institute warns that the situation raises diseases and deaths.
Child and maternal health experiences remained the worst in the country, it says.
51 percent of South Sudanese population live below the poverty line, according to the 2009 National Bureau of Statistics.
This number has dramatically increased following the currency floating, The Institute, observes.
It estimates that a three-member household now needs about 3,000 Pounds per month to retain a decent living.
The Sudd Institute warns that any response from the authorities will need to thoroughly evaluate the basic relationship to generate adequate corrective measures.
