Humanitarian groups warn Sudan is on the brink of a public health catastrophe as Sudanese officials have reported at least 2,700 cholera infections and 172 deaths in the past week alone. Most of the cases are in the state of Khartoum, where access to clean water and electricity has been severely disrupted due to drone strikes blamed on Rapid Support Forces and intensifying fighting with the Sudanese army. The region’s water treatment stations are out of service, as the strikes have caused electricity outages, forcing local residents to turn to unsafe water sources. Cholera is caused by ingesting contaminated water or food, and can kill a person within hours if left untreated. More than two years of war has pushed Sudan’s healthcare system to the breaking point, leading to what international groups describe as the world’s largest displacement and hunger crisis.
