WHO reports 117 cholera deaths in West Kordofan
The World Health Organization announced an outbreak of cholera in West Kordofan State, Sudan, registering 117 deaths, 7 confirmed cases, and 838 suspected cases since June 20. The health situation is deteriorating due to ongoing conflict between the army and Rapid Support Forces, as insecurity and displacement hinder access to medical care and create difficulties in deploying response teams and distributing supplies. The organization is working to increase treatment centers and provide cholera control supplies, including the establishment of handwashing stations and health awareness campaigns in the region.
