Sudan grapples with rising Cholera cases
[SUDANTRIBUNE] Sudan
...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans...
’s Ministry of Health has reported a significant surge in cholera cases across the country, with a total of 3,359 cases, including 108 fatalities, recorded to date.

In response to the alarming rise in cholera infections, the Ministry of Health has initiated a large-scale vaccination campaign in two states, al-Gezira and Gedaref. The campaign is scheduled to run until November 25.

A Ministry of Health official informed Sudan Tribune that the Red Sea State has seen a concerning rise in cholera cases, with 145 confirmed infections and 6 deaths.

Concerns are also mounting over the potential spread of cholera in White Nile State, where the number of cases has reached 132, resulting in 8 deaths. Al Gezhira State, on the other hand, has recorded 993 cases, including 20 fatalities.

The Ministry of Health official acknowledged the challenges posed by the escalating cholera outbreak, particularly in light of the ongoing conflict and the lack of aid and medical supplies reaching conflict zones.

In mid-November, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced the delivery of 2.2 million doses of cholera vaccines to Sudan through the Global Mechanism for the Elimination of Cholera.

Acting Minister of Health Haitham Mohammed Ibrahim expressed gratitude for the vaccine shipment, stating that it represents a crucial step in strengthening the country’s efforts to combat the disease.

According to the United Nations
...where theory meets practice and practice loses...
 Children’s Fund (UNICEF), the cholera epidemic poses a significant threat to over 3 million people in Sudan. At least 1,600 suspected cases and 67 deaths have been reported thus far.

The only problem: real Muslims shoot doctors who come to vaccinate them - if they feel kindly.

Die vultruis kan nie flieg nie (the ostrich cannot fly). My guess is, it never will. It's not the West, it never will be.

#4 Interesting that Red Sea and White Nile, the areas getting the vaccinations, were not reportedly the heaviest flooded.
