Aisha Mohammed, suffering on a hospital bed from cholera symptoms, indicates the dire healthcare situation in war-torn Sudan, where the illness is rapidly spreading.
Health Minister Haitham Ibrahim attributed the cholera epidemic in Sudan to worsening climatic conditions and widespread water contamination, critical factors amid ongoing conflict.
Since the war's onset in April 2023, the healthcare infrastructure has faltered, with cholera cases rising sharply due to torrential rains and flooding displacing populations.
Local health officials reported a surge in cholera cases, emphasizing that before the conflict, 40% of Sudanese lacked access to clean drinking water.
