Summary
War-torn Sudan is facing a public health disaster, with the International Rescue Committee (IRC) warning of a cholera outbreak that has resulted in 172 deaths within a week, primarily in Khartoum state. The ongoing civil war has compromised water purification due to drone attacks, forcing residents to use contaminated water, while low vaccination coverage and dwindling medical supplies exacerbate the situation. Reports indicate thousands of suspected cholera cases, overwhelming remaining health facilities, amidst a conflict that has claimed over 150,000 lives and displaced millions.
