Activists on social media are circulating images of hundreds of dead bodies of people who were infected with Cholera, which has spread throughout the country in a drastic manner in recent months. The images were captured by volunteers from Khartoum and Al-Jazeera states and confirmed by relevant official sources in Khartoum state.<\/p>\n
With the fall season approaching, fears are growing exponentially, as Doctors and specialists warn of a resurgence of the epidemic in numerous areas, including Khartoum, which has been witnessing a slow return of residents displaced over the past two years due to the ongoing war.<\/p>\n
Humanitarian volunteer, Ahmed Farouk told (Sudan Tribune) that they recently buried several bodies of Cholera victims in Omdurman, particularly in the southern part of the city. Medical reports indicated that residents of the southern part of Omdurman were drinking from a contaminated water station due to the ongoing war in Sudan, which, rather unfortunately, led to a number of them contracting the disease that claimed their lives.<\/p>\n
A health monitoring report issued by the Ministry of Health indicated that (1,412) water sources were examined, and (328) of them were found to be non-compliant.<\/p>\n
For her part, volunteer, L.M. explained that the presence of hundreds of bodies scattered across various areas, according to testimonies from numerous volunteers across the country, is creating a state of panic amongst residents. She noted the difficulty of accessing a number of areas, namely, some villages in Al-Jazeera, which have been hit by the Cholera epidemic.<\/p>\n
Medical sources reported that Cholera has spread to Khartoum, Al-Jazeera, Sennar, Kordofan, and Darfur states, stressing that although the current wave has subsided, its likely to intensify again as the fall season approaches.<\/p>\n
