Sudan is grappling with a severe cholera outbreak that has claimed the lives of over 1,180 people.
The Sudanese Ministry of Health reported that the total number of cholera cases has surged to 42,725.
The ongoing conflict in Sudan has exacerbated the situation, as the country’s already fragile health system is struggling to cope.
Heavy rains and floods that began in June have created ideal conditions for the spread of the disease.
The UN has expressed deep concern, with the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs warning that 3.4 million Sudanese children are at risk.
In response, the UN Children’s Fund has dispatched 1.4 million doses of cholera vaccine to the country.
As the humanitarian crisis in Sudan deepens, the cholera outbreak poses a significant threat to public health and further complicates the lives of millions of Sudanese people.
