Famine-hit S Sudan raises aid workers' visa fees 100 times
South Sudan has increased the cost of work permits for foreign aid workers from $100 to up to $10,000 to increase government revenue after a famine was declared in the country. Aid groups said the move was wrongly timed as 1 lakh people are starving in the country. Notably, President Salva Kiir earlier promised easy access to all aid organisations.
