Sudanese Minister of Health Haitham Mohamed Ibrahim on Saturday announced a "surge" in cholera cases in the capital, Khartoum, amid reports of at least 2,500 cases being recorded during May.
Ibrahim said in a statement that the recent spike in cholera cases has averaged between 600 and 700 cases per week over the past four weeks.
He attributed the outbreak to worsening environmental conditions and limited access to safe drinking water, driven by the growing number of returning residents following the liberation of Khartoum State.
