Sudan's Healthcare System Collapses Amid Civil War

The ongoing conflict in Sudan has devastated the healthcare system, with over 100 attacks on medical facilities reported, leaving more than half of them non-functional. The only operational hospital in Khartoum North, Bahri Hospital, is overwhelmed with patients suffering from malnutrition, malaria, and other diseases, as families struggle to access care amidst rampant violence. Many patients, including women and children, are unable to receive essential reproductive health services due to targeted assaults on healthcare and a lack of medical supplies. The World Health Organization highlights the dire situation, stating that the war has displaced over 10 million people and triggered the world's largest hunger crisis. As fighting continues, particularly in the Southern Belt of Khartoum, hospitals face closures and a surge in injuries from bombardments. Amidst this turmoil, humanitarian aid remains severely obstructed, further exacerbating the health crisis across the nation.
