Darfur cholera cases rising at an ‘alarming’ rate as death toll in Sudan tops 3,000, says WHO

GENEVA: The number of reported cholera cases is increasing in Darfur and more than 3,000 people across all of Sudan have died from the illness over the last 14 months of civil war, the UN health agency said Tuesday. The current outbreak of the bacterial infection caused by contaminated food or water has spread to all 18 states in the war-torn country after erupting in Kassala state in July last year, the World Health Organization said.
