Medication Shortages Worsen Due To Supply Chain Issues

Cargo has become more expensive, and gas prices have risen, with the Strait of Malacca still blocked. This situation is creating supply problems, impacting local fishermen's ability to go out at night. Dubai chefs are adapting menus with local ingredients or offering fewer dishes due to difficulties in transporting perishable ingredients. Medication shortages, including children's syrup with painkillers, are a problem, with the situation potentially worsening in the coming months. Supply chains are disrupted, and many medications are produced in only one or two factories in China or India. The 'Iran-Krieg' is cited as a factor that could further exacerbate these disruptions.
