Healthcare 'Collapsing' in Sudan As Doctors Flee Violence
Aid agencies have spoken out about the lack of capacity at healthcare facilities in the country as more people affected by the conflict seek medical help. At some hospitals, several people share a single bed while others are "dying on the floor or sent away", Islamic Relief Worldwide said in a statement.
It was noted that more than two-thirds of hospitals in the conflict areas had shut down. The remaining ones risk closure because of "significant shortages of medical staff, medication, medical supplies, water, and electricity".
The violence - which has disrupted supply chains - along with "economic degradation and corruption" has affected the amount of medicine available in the country.
Many doctors have fled the violence, the aid group said, with scores having been killed.
