North Darfur malaria cases soar to 13,000 amid medicine shortage - Sudan


(EL FASHER) – A North Darfur state official revealed on Sunday that malaria cases have surged to 13,000 in El Fasher, the state capital, amid a severe shortage of medicines.

El Fasher’s health system is at risk of collapse, with most hospitals out of service due to armed clashes since last April. The Rapid Support Forces have also occupied the children’s hospital and turned it into a military barracks.
