Medics warn of ‘catastrophic spreads’ that could overwhelm the country’s decimated health system.
PORT SUDAN: Outbreaks of dengue fever and acute watery diarrhoea have “killed hundreds” in war-torn Sudan, medics reported on Monday, warning of “catastrophic spreads” that could overwhelm the country’s decimated health system.
Even before the war, the fragile healthcare system struggled to contain the annual disease outbreaks that accompany the country’s rainy season starting in June, including malaria – endemic in Sudan – and dengue fever. Gedaref resident Amal Hussein told AFP that “in each home, there are at least three people sick with dengue”.
In Khartoum, “three people died of acute watery diarrhoea” – suspected cases of cholera – in the Hajj Youssef district in the east of the capital, the local resistance committee said on Monday.
