Sudan Disease Outbreak Threatens Children
The North Darfur region in Sudan is facing an outbreak of kala-azar, a severe and dangerous form of visceral leishmaniasis, which can be fatal if left untreated. It causes prolonged fever, enlargement of the spleen and liver, and severe anemia. Reports indicate that poor environmental conditions—such as waste accumulation and lack of clean water—are increasing the breeding of sandflies that transmit the parasite, especially in displacement camps, among malnourished populations, and those with weakened immune systems. International health authorities and humanitarian organizations have called for swift intervention through rapid diagnostic testing, medication, and anti-fly campaigns to prevent the spread of the disease among children, who are most at risk.
