Cholera Cases Surge in Sudan with 125 New Cases and 9 Deaths
Situation Update as of September 18, 2025
A significant increase in cholera cases has been reported in Sudan, with 125 new cases and 9 deaths, bringing the total number of cases to 12,186 since the outbreak began, and 509 fatalities, according to media sources on Thursday, September 18, 2025.
Affected Regions
The cases are primarily concentrated in the regions of Djebel Marra, Nertiti, Tor, Gildo, and surrounding villages, Rokero, East Djebel Marra, Zalingei, Tawila, and Nyala, as well as in displaced persons camps where the disease is spreading rapidly.
Humanitarian Response
In the face of a severe shortage of medical supplies and intravenous fluids, humanitarian organizations, volunteers, and local authorities are making considerable efforts to limit the spread of the disease. However, challenges are mounting due to outbreaks of malaria, malnutrition, and famine, which are exacerbating the humanitarian crisis in the country.
Call to Action
Local organizations have urged the international community and the World Health Organization to intervene urgently to address this critical health situation, particularly in displaced persons camps that are experiencing widespread cholera outbreaks.
