"Now we are witnessing a second wave of cholera that was declared on August 12 officially ... Until yesterday, August 22, we have reported 658 cases with 28 deaths. This gives us a case fatality ration of 4.3%, which is quite high ... This is due, of course, to many things, including the broken health system and the capacity to respond," Sahbani said at a briefing in Geneva. The disease has spread across five Sudanese regions, the WHO official also said, adding that the cases were not related to the previous cholera outbreak, which had been declared in September 2023 and ended in May 2024. On April 15, 2023, clashes broke out between the Sudanese armed forces and the RSF. The parties to the conflict have since introduced several temporary nationwide ceasefires, but none have helped settle the conflict.
