A new cholera outbreak in Sudan has killed over 170 people in a week, officials say

  • Sudan experienced a new cholera outbreak in mid-May 2025 that killed 172 people and sickened over 2,500 mostly in Khartoum and surrounding states within one week.
  • The outbreak followed over two years of conflict between Sudan's army and the RSF, which displaced millions and damaged infrastructure, worsening health conditions.
  • Health facilities in Khartoum are overwhelmed, with dwindling medical supplies and low vaccine coverage as water purification stations suffered power outages from drone attacks.
  • Sudan's Health Minister Haitham Ibrahim estimated 600 to 700 new cholera cases weekly in Khartoum over the past four weeks, while MSF treated almost 2,000 suspected cases in one week.
  • Authorities and aid groups urged coordinated efforts focused on water sanitation, hygiene programs, and expanding treatment centers to control the outbreak amid Sudan's ongoing humanitarian crisis.
