New York (ST) – The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has warned of a rise in the number of cholera cases in Sudan, increasing by up to 70 percent over the past three weeks alone.

OCHA explained on its website that at least 5,178 suspected cases of cholera, including 161 associated deaths were reported from 46 localities of nine states, according to the Federal Ministry of Health (FMoH) and the World Health Organization (WHO) Sudan Outbreaks Dashboard.

Ocha indicated that humanitarian agencies are scaling up the response to the outbreak, supporting the detection and treatment of cases. They are also addressing water, sanitation and hygiene issues, conducting water quality monitoring and chlorination, and risk communication and community engagement.
