A cholera outbreak in the southern Sudanese city of Kosti has resulted in nearly 60 deaths and over 1,300 cases in just three days. Health authorities attribute the outbreak to contaminated drinking water, which occurred after an attack on the city's water plant by a paramilitary group involved in prolonged conflict with the military. Efforts to combat the outbreak include a vaccination campaign against cholera, as the disease is highly infectious and can lead to severe dehydration without treatment. This incident echoes a larger humanitarian crisis, with previous cholera cases resulting in over 600 deaths last year.
A cholera outbreak in Kosti has resulted in 58 deaths and over 1,293 illnesses, highlighting the risks associated with contaminated water supplies.
The outbreak was triggered by an attack on the city's water plant, leading to a severe public health crisis in southern Sudan.
