Aid for 400,000 children in Sudan delayed by Hormuz disruption Medical supplies for around 400,000 children in Sudan are stuck in Dubai due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, Save the Children said. The shipment includes antibiotics, antimalarial drugs, deworming treatments and injectable medicines. More than 90 primary healthcare facilities could run out of essential supplies as a result.  It also said shipments of nutrition supplies and antibiotics bound for Yemen and Afghanistan have been delayed, forcing a shift to more costly alternatives. Aid to Afghanistan is now being flown in at a cost of $240,000, exceeding the value of the supplies themselves.
