New cholera outbreak alert for Sudan’s war-weary communities

A new cholera outbreak has emerged in war-torn Sudan, resulting in over 100 deaths and over 1,330 confirmed cases. The outbreak primarily affects western regions such as Darfur and Kordofan, with significant concern over its potential spread to El-Obeid, where aid access remains severely restricted due to ongoing conflict and drone attacks. Dr. Shible Sahbani, the UN World Health Organization (WHO) Representative to Sudan, warned that the disease's fatality rate is extremely high at 13.7%, and the approaching rainy season could exacerbate the situation. With over 33 million people in need of assistance and millions displaced, the WHO has prepositioned medical supplies but acknowledges they are insufficient. The organization has called for increased support to address the growing health crisis amid ongoing violence.
