IRAN: Iran is facing a worsening healthcare and cost-of-living crisis, with severe shortages of essential medicines and sharp price increases. Life-saving treatments for diseases such as cancer and diabetes, including drugs like Xgeva and insulin, have become unaffordable for many patients due to sudden price surges. Despite government assurances that medical reserves are stable, citizens report difficulty accessing both critical and basic medications. The situation is compounded by broader economic challenges, including food shortages, as seen in long queues for bread in areas near Tehran. These conditions are increasing hardship for ordinary people, raising concerns about public health and overall living standards.

Pray for the LORD’s healing power upon those suffering from illness in Iran. Pray that they will receive the treatment and care they urgently need (The Holy Bible, Jeremiah 30:17).

Pray for the LORD’s provision for families struggling with rising medical and food costs. Pray that their needs will be met and no one will lack essential resources  (The Holy Bible, Matthew 6:31-33).
