CAIRO (AP) – An additional three dozen health facilities serving more than 400,000 people in Sudan are closing this year due to global aid cuts, worsening a dire humanitarian situation in a country torn by more than three years of war, aid groups said on Tuesday.
The cuts come to a health care system that once numbered 6,500 primary healthcare facilities and 300 public hospitals, but that already was decimated in the first year and a half of war.
By September 2024, the World Health Organization said that up to 70-80 per cent of facilities in the worst-hit areas were either closed or barely functioning.
