The cholera outbreak in Sudan remains a serious humanitarian threat. Overcrowded displacement sites, poor sanitation, and limited access to safe water, made worse by the rainy season, are driving the crisis.
In response, World Vision Sudan is scaling up life-saving action:
•Started rehabilitation of water points in White Nile State – Um Rimta area
• Pre-positioning cholera treatment supplies across seven states
• Engaging 566 community health workers to promote hygiene, sanitation, and early reporting
• Establishing treatment centers and up to 50 oral rehydration points at primary health units
In Blue Nile, East and South Darfur, timely interventions helped contain the outbreak,65 suspected cases were managed, 11 confirmed, all treated patients recovered, and zero deaths recorded. Two cholera treatment centers and 11 oral rehydration points continue to provide critical care, contributing to South Darfur reaching a cholera-free status.
Despite these gains, funding and bureaucratic barriers continue to limit the scale and speed of the response.
