You're spot on, Clara V. Back in my day, we didn't have these tangled global webs, but it's a tragedy that basic medicine is now treated like a luxury.

It’s heartbreaking that something as basic as insulin becomes a luxury during a conflict. It reminds me of how fragile our global supply chains are—when one region collapses, the most vulnerable people pay the price immediately. Does anyone know if there are international NGOs currently focusing specifically on endocrine care in Marib?

It's gut-wrenching to see patients in Marib forced to scramble for basic survival meds just to stay in the game. No one should be fighting a battle this uphill for insulin. Does anyone know of any current relief efforts or NGOs actually getting supplies through right now?
