Cholera Outbreak in Sudan Forces School Closures and Strains Healthcare System
As cholera ravages Sudan, schools in Al-Dabbah have been closed to prevent further spread of the disease. Reports indicate 307 cases and 18 deaths in this town alone, with local hospitals overwhelmed by the surge in patients. The humanitarian crisis is compounded by a lack of access to clean water and medical supplies, exacerbated by ongoing conflict.
The Northern State's Ministry of Health has responded with measures like market closures and chlorination of water sources. The situation is dire in Umbada and Gedaref, with hundreds of cases reported and health resources severely strained. The cholera outbreak, which began in mid-August following heavy rains, poses a significant risk to vulnerable populations.
