Original: Food or medicine? The impossible choices facing Sudan’s chronically ill https://www. aljazeera.com/features/2026/10 /18/
Sudan's ongoing conflict has left people with chronic illnesses such as diabetes and hypertension unable to afford both food and medication, forcing impossible daily choices. Al Jazeera reports on patients skipping doses or selling belongings as hospitals close, drug supplies run out and prices soar, leaving millions with untreated conditions amid a collapsing health system and widespread hunger.
Why now: The Sudan war has devastated healthcare and food access, drawing fresh attention to the plight of chronically ill patients.
