With an ongoing fuel crisis, extreme shortage in medication, little to no access to proper healthcare, and a struggling educational sector, the future of the nation remains unclear.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new report issued by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia revealed that around 74% of the total population is
