Sudan: hospitals, gold, hunger risk
What happened
Fighting in Sudan took a direct toll on civilians this week when a drone strike hit a hospital during a vaccination campaign, killing at least ten people according to MSF. Investigations also say roughly 70 tonnes of Sudan’s 2025 gold was siphoned through a shadow economy controlled mainly by armed groups, a revenue stream that helps finance the conflict. Observers warn the wider regional instability could disrupt food and fertiliser routes through the Gulf and — absent a transit deal for the Strait of Hormuz — push millions closer to life‑threatening hunger.
