Sudan reports over 9,500 cholera cases, 315 deaths
Sudan’s health ministry said that 9,533 cases of cholera, including 315 deaths, had been recorded in the country.
The ministry said in a statement that the cumulative infection rate of the latest outbreak had reached 9,533 cases as of Sunday.
Sudan’s health minister, Haitham Mohamed Ibrahim, officially declared a cholera outbreak in the country on August 17.
The ministry attributed the spread of cholera to deteriorating environmental conditions caused by the war and the use of unclean water.
Since the outbreak of fighting between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces in April 2023, epidemic diseases such as cholera, malaria, measles, and dengue fever have spread, leading to hundreds of deaths.
The conflict has resulted in at least 16,650 deaths and displaced millions of people.
