The closures will affect over 400,000 people, worsening the already severe health and economic challenges facing Sudan, particularly in the context of ongoing war that has lasted more than three years. The impact on the economy and trade in Sudan is likely to be significant, as a healthy population is crucial for a country's productivity and overall well-being.
