💨 Abstract

In Sudan, a rapid cholera outbreak has killed 172 people and infected over 2,500 in the past week, centered around Khartoum and Omdurman. Returning war refugees face unclean water and collapsed infrastructure, exacerbating the spread. The outbreak follows a 2-year civil war that has displaced millions and caused severe humanitarian crises. Cholera, a waterborne disease, thrives in such conditions.
