US EditionWHO Says Nearly 100,000 Struck with Cholera in Sudan
SUDAN, AUG 6 – The cholera epidemic in Sudan has caused over 96,000 infections and 2,400 deaths amid conflict-driven displacement and collapsed health services, officials say.
- On Thursday, the WHO said nearly 100,000 cholera cases have been reported across all Sudan states since July last year.
- Since April 2023, Sudan has been torn by a power struggle, with escalating violence devastating health infrastructure, bombing hospitals, and forcing closures, according to reports.
- The UN health agency said these figures underscore the crisis's scale, with nearly 2,140 cases and at least 80 deaths reported across five Darfur states by the end of July since August 2024.
- The WHO has received less than a third of the funds it appealed for, hindering urgent health assistance, while lifesaving supplies and therapeutic food run low amid bureaucratic hurdles.
- Amid ongoing violence, the WHO said recent floods are expected to worsen hunger and fuel more outbreaks of cholera, malaria and dengue, jeopardizing future health efforts.
