Iran ports face medicine shortages and price surges
Iran is facing a severe crisis in the availability of medicines and food supplies due to the repercussions of the recent war, the maritime blockade, and American attacks on ports. This has led to a shortage of many medicines and a skyrocketing in their prices, with some drugs costing as much as 90 million rials (approximately $43.4). Food items have also been heavily affected, with rice and fat prices increasing by over 100-260%, and many basic goods being absent from the market. The main reason is the disruption of import chains caused by damage to the ports and the suspension of raw material imports, in addition to U.S. sanctions that hinder the transfer of funds and the purchase of medicines and food. This situation endangers patients' health and reflects a worsening humanitarian crisis in the country.
