2006-11-08 |
![]() Meanwhile, Cholera has broken out in most states of Sudan, including North and South Darfur, but the toll does not include West Darfur where agencies have little access due to insecurity. Sudan's first suspected cases of Cholera were reported at the end of January in Yei. The disease was then reported in Juba, the capital of southern Sudan, and it has spread quickly. Sudan's Juba city has a population of more than 250,000 people who are known to rely heavily on polluted water from the River Nile. |
