Sudan is facing a worsening cholera outbreak, with 1,351 cases and 58 deaths reported in White Nile State over three days. Contaminated water, linked to conflict-related infrastructure damage, is fuelling the crisis.
The Sudanese Health Ministry reported on Saturday that southern Sudan has recorded 1,351 cholera cases, including 58 fatalities.
The ministry highlighted the “rapid spread of the cholera outbreak in Kosti city, White Nile State,” noting that 1,351 cases and 58 deaths were documented within three days.
It attributed the outbreak to contaminated drinking water, resulting from the shutdown of Kosti’s main water station. This occurred after the Rapid Support Forces militia targeted the Um Dabakir electricity station in White Nile State.
According to the ministry, the government's swift response has played a crucial role in slowing the rise in cases. Key interventions include restoring operations at Kosti’s main water station, launching a cholera vaccination campaign, ensuring the availability of IV fluids, and expanding bed capacity at the isolation center.
The Sudan Doctors Network previously reported 1,197 cholera cases and 83 related deaths in White Nile State over two days.
Sudan’s Health Ministry stated that since the outbreak began in August, the total number of cholera cases across the country has reached 53,735, with 1,430 deaths.
This health crisis is unfolding amid the ongoing civil conflict between the Sudanese army and the RSF, which has been ongoing since April 2023, resulting in thousands of deaths and widespread displacement.
