The fighting in Sudan has caused skyrocketing commodity prices critically shrinking medical stockpiles and hundreds of thousands of people to flee their homes, UN humanitarians said on Tuesday.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) warns that many will die due to a lack of essential services and disease outbreaks. Medical stockpiles are running critically low in areas ravaged by the fighting, including in the capital Khartoum as well as West and Central Darfur.
