MOSUL: Medical charity Doctors Without Borders announced on Wednesday the suspension of “vital” medical activities in two hospitals in the war-scarred city of Mosul, blaming Iraq’s bureaucracy of delaying the delivery of supplies.

“Essential medical activities have been suspended at two health facilities … after stocks of medicines and supplies ran critically low,” according to an MSF press release.

The group’s activities are crucial for the major city in northern Iraq, where the health care sector is struggling to recover from years of war and neglect.
