MEDICAL SUPPLY CRISIS
Sir Jim Mackey of the NHS has warned that critical medical supplies could run low within days due to ongoing disruptions from the Iran war.

What we know so far

The NHS faces an impending shortage of critical medical supplies due to disruptions caused by the conflict in Iran, warned the head of the health service in England, Sir Jim Mackey. He expressed serious concern over potential shortfalls of essential items such as syringes, masks, and surgical equipment, noting, “We are really worried.”

Deliveries have been significantly impacted by Iran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz, leading to delays or diversions in shipments. Sir Jim highlighted the NHS’s heavy reliance on imports, stating, “The UK imports 75% of its medicine.” He mentioned that a team is actively assessing risks within supply chains.

Currently, while there is enough supply for a limited period, urgent measures are necessary to avoid further complications. Sir Jim indicated that some products may only have days’ worth of stock available. The Independent Pharmacies Association reiterated concerns about various pressures exacerbating existing shortages.

Despite these warnings, a Government spokesperson stated that there are no reported medicine shortages linked to the ongoing conflict. They are actively monitoring the situation and maintaining processes to manage any potential disruptions in the medical supply chain.

NHS could be ‘days away’ from running out of key supplies because of Iran war | News UK

The NHS is only days away from running out of some medical supplies because of the Iran war, the head of the health service in England has warned.

Sir Jim Mackey said ‘we are really worried’ about potential shortfalls in the number of critical supplies like syringes, masks and surgical equipment.

Deliveries have been affected by Iran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz, with shipments either being held up completely or having to be diverted around the world.

Asked about what contingency planning is in place in the NHS because ‘the UK imports 75% of its medicine’, Sir Jim said: ‘We are really worried about this.

‘We’ve already had a couple of supply shocks in the last 12 to 18 months of key supplies.’

He said there is a team in place to ‘focus on where the risks might be through the supply chains’.

Asked on the LBC phone-in how much supply there is, he replied: ‘It depends what you’re talking about.

‘In every area, we’ve got enough to get through for a reasonable period… so generally, a few weeks

‘Because things perish and it costs money to store and various other things go out of out of use, you can’t hold years and years of supply, generally dependent on the product we keep a reasonable period.

‘Some of that is held centrally, some held locally.’

Asked what was at risk, Sir Jim said: ‘Well, everything, honestly – everything’s at risk.’

Asked whether in some instances it would be ‘weeks’ worth of supply’, he replied: ‘Yeah, it could be days for some products.’

On Monday, the Independent Pharmacies Association said the UK was facing a ‘perfect storm of factors exacerbating medicine shortages’.

Chief executive Dr Leyla Hannbeck said: ‘The UK pharmacy sector depends heavily on imports, particularly from India and China, and ongoing pressures, from rising energy costs to constrained raw ingredients from the Middle East conflict, are already disrupting supply and risk worsening shortages without decisive action.’

Henry Gregg, chief executive of the National Pharmacy Association said: ‘We’re not currently seeing shortages of medicine directly linked to the conflict in the Middle East, but pharmacies are seeing disturbing spikes in prices which can be an early indicator of challenges.

He added that ‘the supply chain is very international’ and said ‘we import a lot of medicines, but it’s an international system’.

‘The Department of Health have issued unprecedented numbers of price concessions designed to cope with price surges, which are likely exacerbated by this current situation.

‘The NHS has driven down the price of medicines over many years, which leaves the UK vulnerable in a global market and contributes to the rising problem of medicine shortages, which are a daily reality for many years for our members.

‘Pharmacies will always do everything they can to ensure patients get the medicines they need but they must do this in an increasingly competitive global market.

‘The Government needs to ensure both that physical supply routes are protected during this conflict but also ensure that the NHS is providing sufficient funding to ensure that Britain is not left behind in the international market at a time when both supply and demand for medicines are very challenging.’

A Government spokesperson said: ‘There are currently no reported medicine shortages as a result of conflict in the Middle East.

‘We continue to monitor the situation closely for any impacts on the medical supply chain.

‘The department actively monitors emerging threats to supply resilience and has established processes in place to manage disruption across the health and social care sector.’

Iraq orders British-run dog shelter to relocate, risking 700 animal lives

Get you up to speed: Iraq orders British-run dog shelter to relocate, risking 700 animal lives

A British-run dog shelter, War Paws in Erbil, faces the potential euthanisation of 700 animals as the Iraqi government orders them to vacate the land for ‘warehouses’. The shelter has been operating since 2018, providing care for approximately 130 dogs within its walls and around 700 outside.

War Paws, a dog shelter in Erbil, Iraq, is facing the euthanisation of 700 animals due to a government order to vacate the premises for warehouses, according to CEO Louise Hastie. The organisation has been operational since 2018 and provides shelter and care for stray animals while dealing with significant challenges, including extreme heat and limited resources.

War Paws in Erbil is facing the imminent threat of having to euthanise 700 animals due to the Iraqi government’s order to vacate the land for warehouses, and it will cost USD$300,000 to relocate and rebuild. CEO Louise Hastie has expressed that the inability to move would result in the dogs being abandoned, leading to dire consequences for their survival.

British shelter saving dogs from Iranian missiles may have to put down 700 animals | News World

A British-run dog shelter in Iraq is facing euthanising 700 animals as the government orders them to pack up and move.

War Paws in Erbil, in the north of the country, cares for 130 stray dogs inside the shelter walls and around 700 on the outside.

Staff have battled through extreme heat, no power or running water, and now watch as drones are intercepted above them.

CEO Louise Hastie, 53, told WTX: ‘We have had nine of 10 explosions above us just this morning.’

Iraq is the only country to have its airspace completely closed since the US and Israel launched Operation Epic Fury on February 28.

This has left staff, who alternate time spent in the UK and Iraq, stranded at the shelter, with no flights coming or going.

Louise said: ‘What started as a two-week trip has turned into a five-week stay. But even if I was able to leave, I couldn’t face leaving my team and the dogs.’

The shelter has been running since 2018, spaying and neutering hundreds of animals, including donkeys and cats, while providing shelter from the extreme heat and regular food.

But now the Iraqi government has told them they need the land for ‘warehouses’. It is unclear what they will be used for.

It will cost the shelter USD$300,000 to move and rebuild from scratch, which equals their average yearly running cost.

‘We have been here for six years, we logistically cannot move,’ Louise said.

‘If we are forced to, we are looking at having to put down 700 dogs as they are unable to live as strays in the area.’

Louise, originally from Wednesbury in the West Midlands, arrived at the shelter, which was originally set up by two local women, and was shocked at what she saw.

She said there was no shade, no water, and scorpions covering the ground.

‘It broke me walking through for the first time,’ she said. ‘Dogs dropped dead at my feet as I walked past them.’

With the help of her team, she managed to set up a vet clinic to neuter the animals, bring water tanks, and even build swimming pools to protect the dogs from the extreme heat.

But if forced to leave, the animals will not be able to survive on their own.

‘We are looking at a situation where they will likely starve to death,’ Louose said. ‘So it would be kinder to put them down.’

Before the shelter existed, the animals would survive on spare meat dumped by butchers at the landfill site nearby.

This has since also been taken over by warehouses.

Louise said: ‘I’m at my wits’ end, and it’s only going to get worse. People’s donation habits have changed ever since the cost-of-living crisis as well meaning we don’t get as much as we used to.

‘But we won’t give up. We are here for a reason.’

EU energy chief warns of prolonged high prices amid Iran conflict

EU energy chief warns of prolonged high prices amid Iran conflict

Energy Price Warning
EU’s energy chief Dan Jørgensen cautioned that energy prices might remain high despite a potential peace deal in Iran, urging member states to brace for disruption.
Potential Long-term Disruption
EU energy prices could remain elevated even with a swift peace deal, prompting member states to explore measures such as fuel rationing amidst a 70% surge in oil prices.
Kallas statement
“Plan A was the use of frozen assets. We definitely need to deliver Ukraine the financing that they need to resist the Russian aggression,” asserted Kaja Kallas.

Key developments

EU’s energy chief Dan Jørgensen has cautioned that energy prices may stay elevated despite a potential peace deal regarding Iran, prompting member states to brace for ongoing disruption.

As prices surge—oil by 70% and gas by 50%—EU countries are contemplating fuel rationing and other measures reminiscent of the 1970s energy crisis to manage demand.

Newsletter: Energy shock has Brussels on edge

EU energy chief warns of prolonged high prices amid Iran conflict

Good morning from Brussels. I’m Mared Gwyn with your last Europe Today newsletter before we go on a short break. We’ll be back next Tuesday.

The EU’s energy chief Dan Jørgensen has warned member states that energy prices could remain high even if a peace deal to end the war in Iran is struck swiftly, urging capitals to prepare for the “potentially prolonged disruption.”

EU News’ Marta Pacheco reports that EU countries may consider fuel rationing, remote work, and even “car-free Sundays”— a measure from the 1970s energy crisis — to curb oil and gas demand, as prices have surged 70% and 50%, respectively.

The warnings from Brussels suggest an increasing sense of nervousness over the economic repercussions of the conflict, as the reality of the looming crisis sets in. Marta has this handy explainer on the possible ramifications for Europe, and how countries are preparing.

On Tuesday, US President Donald Trump said countries which had dismissed earlier US requests for support to re-open the Strait of Hormuz – and which now face potential jet fuel shortages – should “build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait and just take it (the oil)”.

It’s awakening fears that the US could withdraw from the conflict without a settlement that would guarantee the safe re-opening of the Strait to international trade. Trump said overnight from the Oval Office that the war could end in “two or three weeks” and is due to address the nation with an update late on Wednesday.

Trump has also lashed out at France, despite heaping praise on the country for its position on the war in recent weeks, claiming Paris had prevented US planes headed to Israel with military supplies from flying over its territory.

“France has been VERY UNHELPFUL with respect to the “Butcher of Iran,” who has been successfully eliminated! The U.S.A. will REMEMBER!!!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

Speaking from Japan earlier today, Macron hailed Europe’s “predictability” despite its perceived “slowness”, criticising countries which may go faster but could “hurt you without even informing you”, in an apparent jab at the Trump administration.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio told Fox News last night that the US will need to “examine” its relationship with NATO in the aftermath of the war, amid signs that the existing fractures between Washington and other allies have deepened dramatically since the start of the Iran conflict.

Meanwhile, EU foreign ministers held symbolic talks in Ukraine on Tuesday as they scramble to keep attention on the war-torn country amid the conflict in the Middle East, which risks out draining out military stockpiles and fueling Moscow’s warchest as countries look for alternatives amid global oil and gas disruption.

Speaking to Europe Today from Kyiv, Romanian Foreign Minister Oana Țoiu said the relationship between Ukraine and the EU is a “good” and “strong partnership”, despite President Zelenskyy recently drumming a series of deals with Gulf countries amid uncertainty over Western support.

With the EU’s pivotal €90 billion loan for Ukraine still in deadlock due to Hungary’s veto, Țoiu said that the EU needs “better instruments” to enable “faster decisions” on foreign policy.

Kallas insists Russian assets are an option if Orbán doesn’t lift veto on Ukraine loan

Using Russia’s frozen assets to finance Ukraine remains an option if Viktor Orbán refuses to lift his veto on the €90 billion loan after the 12 April elections, EU High Representative Kaja Kallas said on Tuesday, Jorge Liboreiro reports.

Orbán has blocked the financial lifeline over an unrelated dispute with Kyiv regarding the Druzhba oil pipeline, after initially giving his political blessing to the loan in December when he, along with the Czech and Slovakian leaders, negotiated an exemption from any loan payments.

“Plan A was the use of frozen assets. So, we should also keep in mind that if plan B does not work, let’s go back to plan A, but we definitely need to deliver Ukraine the financing that they need to resist the Russian aggression,” Kallas said.

Standing alongside Kallas, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha echoed the message, saying the immobilised assets are “not off the table” and “cannot be taken off the agenda until and unless Russia pays all the reparations”.

Frustration with Hungary mounts after leaked call shows foreign minister discussing EU sanctions removal with Russian counterpart

“I am calling at the request of Alisher, and he just asked me to remind you that you were doing something about his sister,” Lavrov told Szijjártó, referring to Russian oligarch Alisher Usmanov and his sister Gulbahor Ismailova.

Asked about the investigation in a press conference in Kyiv on Tuesday, the EU’s Foreign policy chief, Kaja Kallas said: “European ministers should work for Europe not for Russia.”

Speaking beside Kallas, Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha‎ called for a “proper reaction” from the EU.

Our correspondent Sándor Zsiros writes that the scandal has emerged as Hungary prepares for parliamentary elections on 12 April, with foreign interference and the government’s close ties to Moscow among the key campaign issues.

Szijjártó has defended his actions, arguing that speaking with Russian officials before and after such meetings is part of routine diplomatic practice.

Sándor has more on the allegations.

US Supreme Court hears landmark case on voting rights this week

The Supreme Court is set to hear a pivotal case today that could reshape the landscape of affirmative action in U.S. higher education. The case examines challenges to admissions policies at Harvard University and the University of North Carolina, focusing on claims of racial discrimination against Asian American applicants. Legal experts believe the decision may significantly alter how colleges and universities consider race in admissions, potentially affecting thousands of institutions nationwide.

In market news, futures are reacting cautiously ahead of the Supreme Court ruling, which could have lasting implications for talent pipelines and corporate diversity initiatives. Analysts warn that the outcome might influence hiring practices and diversity commitments within major firms. Investors will be watching closely as the ruling is expected later this week, alongside upcoming economic data releases, including inflation figures and labor market reports.

The iconic Gliderdome roller skating rink in Boston, Lincolnshire, renowned for hosting music legends like Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Wonder, is now up for sale. The venue has been described as a “time capsule of music history,” attracting interest for its potential as a cultural landmark.
