Cholera surges in Khartoum while war erodes health

Fighting and attacks between General Abdel Fattah al Burhan’s army and Rapid Support Forces have caused a cholera spike in Khartoum by cutting power and water.

Over 2,300 cases and 51 deaths occurred in the last three weeks, mostly in the capital.

Targeting power stations and dams worsened conditions, aiding disease spread.

The UN says public services are overwhelmed by power loss.

Current intense fighting is in western Kordofan and Darfur.

The conflict began in April 2023.

The lack of clean water due to power cuts is a major factor in the cholera outbreak.

International aid organizations are struggling to respond effectively amidst the conflict.

The situation highlights the devastating humanitarian consequences of the ongoing violence.

Urgent intervention is needed to address both the conflict and the health crisis.
