The civil war in Sudan has intensified the spread of infections, including cholera, with over 300 deaths reported. WHO warns of rising cases of dengue fever and meningitis.
Bollywood Fever: The ongoing civil war in Sudan is deepening the humanitarian crisis, with infectious diseases like cholera spreading rapidly across the region. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the cholera outbreak has resulted in over 300 deaths, with more than 11,327 cases reported as of Friday.
Margaret Harris, a WHO official, highlighted the alarming situation during a media call, noting that the numbers are likely higher than reported due to the challenging conditions on the ground. “We expect to have more than has been reported,” Harris said, emphasizing the severity of the situation.
In addition to cholera, cases of dengue fever and meningitis are also on the rise, further straining the already overwhelmed healthcare system in Sudan. The civil war continues to hinder access to medical care, clean water, and essential supplies, exacerbating the spread of these deadly diseases.
The WHO and other humanitarian organizations are calling for urgent international support to address the escalating health crisis and prevent further loss of life in the conflict-ridden region.
