Everyday life for people in Sri Lanka has become a major challenge.

Essentials like food, medicine and fuel are much more expensive – and that’s if they’re even available.

The pandemic and a recession are being blamed.

And a dramatic fall in the value of Sri Lankan rupee, is making things worse.

The island nation depends largely on imports for its food, and a weaker currency means they’re now costlier.

The government has announced an economic emergency to ease the burden for millions of families.

But the Opposition is calling them drastic and exaggerated.
