Cholera spreads to all but one of Sudan’s states
14 July 2025, Port Sudan, Sudan – Cholera cases in Khartoum State are declining following a 10-day vaccination campaign that reached more than 2.24 million people – achieving 96% coverage – in 12 hot spots in 5 at-risk localities. Together with response measures such as case management, surveillance, risk communication and community engagement, and improvements in access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene, the campaign contributed to a sustained fall in the number of new cases.
Before the campaign began, Khartoum State was registering up to 1500 new cases a day. In the weeks following the campaign new cases continued to fall. There were just 10–11 new cases a day being registered by 11 July 2025.
