Residents in rural Sudan say the Iran war has made it harder to get medicines
Residents in rural Sudan are struggling to access medicines due to the impact of the Iran war on global shipping routes. The conflict has led to increased costs and delays in delivering essential supplies, exacerbating Sudan's existing humanitarian crisis.
The war in Iran has worsened medicine shortages in rural Sudan. Prices have spiked, and many pharmacies are out of stock. A public health clinic in Qoz Nafisa village is struggling to support thousands of people. Aid groups say the conflict has cut off vital shipping routes, increasing costs and delays. The International Rescue Committee reported that $130,000 worth of pharmaceuticals was stranded in Dubai for weeks. Sudan's health ministry is trying to fill the gap, but it's not enough. The clinic has run out of malaria treatment, and patients are getting frustrated.
