Doctors' Strike Worsens Healthcare Collapse in Port Sudan

The coastal city of Port Sudan, controlled by the army, has become a refuge from the raging war in the west of the country. However, the healthcare system is on the verge of collapse due to power outages and a shortage of supplies, and the doctors' strike is exacerbating the situation. Doctors and nurses in the Red Sea city report that they have not received their salaries for four months, as the ongoing fighting between the army and the Rapid Support Forces has severely impacted the government's budget. Hospitals in Sudan have long suffered from a lack of funding, and strikes by medical staff have been recurrent. The conflict has nearly paralyzed the healthcare system, with many hospitals in combat areas sustaining damage.
