In the statement made by the Sudanese Ministry of Health, it was stated that the total number of cases in the epidemic reached 38 thousand 817. It was stated that the number of people who lost their lives in the cholera epidemic increased to 1072. Rains and floods that started in June in Sudan led to the spread of cholera.
IT WAS DECLARED AS A CHOLERA EPIDEMIC ON AUGUST 12!
Sudanese authorities declared cholera an epidemic on August 12. The United Nations (UN) Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs reported on October 1 that 3.4 million Sudanese children were at risk of epidemic diseases. The UN Children’s Fund announced on October 5 that it sent 1.4 million doses of cholera vaccine to Sudan.
In Sudan, where the war continues and the health system does not work effectively, the spread of epidemic diseases makes people’s lives even more difficult.
