Sudan says cholera outbreak killed 172 people in a week

Khartoum state is facing a dire crisis as water treatment stations were damaged by drone strikes targeting the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), leaving residents without clean water due to disrupted electricity. In the past week alone, the Ministry of Health reported 2,700 cholera cases and 172 deaths, with 90 percent of infections concentrated in Khartoum state where basic services have been nearly瘫痪d by the war's disruptions. The situation has worsened the already fragile health infrastructure, forcing healthcare workers to ration water sourced from unsafe Nile sources while millions remain displaced due to conflict.
