A cholera outbreak is reported in North Kordofan, Sudan, with conflicting figures between May 25 and 26, 2026. One source indicates 228 confirmed cases and 40 deaths in En Nahud, while another reports 301 total cases and 26 deaths in Foga. A third source mentions over 273 infections and 80 deaths in Foga, with a volunteer doctor reporting over 60 new cases and 7-8 deaths daily.
The health center in Foga is overwhelmed, with shortages of medical supplies and a collapse of the healthcare system. The case fatality rate in Foga is close to 29%, well above the WHO threshold. Over 640,000 children are reported to be at risk in North Darfur.
Armed conflict has degraded the health infrastructure, and humanitarian access is restricted.
