Sudan's Health Crisis: Medics Warn of Impending Disease Catastrophe

Sudan is facing the risk of major disease outbreaks as health conditions deteriorate, with thousands of decomposing corpses in the streets of Khartoum and morgues overwhelmed. The combination of rising corpses, severe water shortages, non-functioning hygiene and sanitation services creates a perfect environment for diseases like cholera. The healthcare system is on the brink of collapse due to power and water outages, shortages of health workers, and attacks on healthcare facilities. Malnutrition cases and disease outbreaks are increasing, with over 300 deaths reported, mostly among children. Hospitals are closing, lacking supplies and staff, while dialysis centers remain out of service. The conflict has led to at least 3,000 deaths and 4 million displaced.
