Cholera is rapidly spreading in Sudan's Darfur region, with 40 reported deaths recently. Medical charity Doctors Without Borders has treated over 2,300 cholera patients amid ongoing civil war conditions. Water shortages and a collapsed health care system leave communities vulnerable. Mass displacements from the conflict deny access to clean water, exacerbating the crisis. Over 100,000 cholera cases have been reported since July 2024. Areas under RSF control suffer from inadequate medical services, contributing to the outbreak. Poor sanitation makes cholera a significant threat to vulnerable populations.
Cholera has spread rapidly in Sudan's Darfur region, with 40 deaths reported in a week. Doctors Without Borders treated over 2,300 cholera patients recently.
Ongoing civil war in Sudan causes mass displacements, denying access to clean water and aggravating cholera outbreaks. Over 100,000 cases reported since July 2024.
The governor of Darfur highlighted that cholera cases are concentrated in areas under RSF control, where services are lacking. The RSF is unable to provide necessary governance.
Cholera is a 'disease of poverty,' spreading where sanitation is poor. Factors like diminished health services and weakened immune systems increase vulnerability to this disease.
