SUDAN FACES RAPIDLY-SPREADING CHOLERA OUTBREAK, RECORDED 1000 DAILY CASES IN CAPITAL

A fast-spreading cholera outbreak has hit Sudan with officials reporting more than 1,000 cases a day in the capital of the war-torn country.
The outbreak is centered around the capital, Khartoum, and has spread as many Sudanese who had fled the country’s war return home. Residents are often only able to find unclean water – which is a dangerous conduit for the disease – as much of the sanitation system has collapsed amid the civil war.
According to Nicolas Jean, the head of Doctors Without Borders mission in Sudan, Khartoum is now getting above 1,000 cases a day.
He blamed the lack of clean water, hygiene and lack of access to health care for the rise in the spread of the disease.
