In Sudan, attacks on hospitals force patients to make dangerous journeys

Sudan's ongoing civil war has severely disrupted healthcare infrastructure, forcing patients with cancer and chronic illnesses to undertake perilous journeys to receive essential treatment. Hospitals face repeated attacks, leaving many facilities damaged or non-operational, eliminating access to oncology services and long-term disease management that were previously available. This healthcare crisis disproportionately affects vulnerable populations with serious conditions requiring continuous medical care. The conflict demonstrates how armed conflict directly threatens patient safety and treatment continuity, leaving individuals with life-threatening diseases unable to access potentially life-saving therapies.
