The Sudanese Ministry of Health has reported that the number of cholera cases in the country has reached 20,398, with the death toll now at 597. The spread of cholera has been fueled by heavy rains and floods affecting Sudan since June. Officials declared a cholera outbreak on August 12. In the context of ongoing conflict, the country’s ineffective health system worsens the situation, making life increasingly challenging for residents amid the rise of infectious diseases. UNICEF on Saturday announced the arrival of 1.4 million oral cholera vaccine doses at a port in the eastern part Sudan. This shipment aims to protect children from a cholera outbreak which has affected 10 of the country’s 18 states since July, resulting in over 18,000 cases and killing 550, the UN agency said in a statement. The new vaccines supplement 404,000 doses delivered last month, supporting ongoing immunization campaigns targeting 1.81 million people in the most affected areas, the statement underlined. “Delivery of the vaccines … is essential for stopping the spread of these deadly diseases,” said Sheldon Yett, UNICEF representative to Sudan. In Sudan, an estimated 3.4 million children under age 5 are at high risk of epidemic diseases, with 3.1 million people at risk of cholera by this December, UNICEF said. The country’s health care system is struggling, with national vaccination coverage dropping from 85% to 50% and over 70% of hospitals in conflict areas non-operational. The humanitarian crisis continues to worsen in Sudan as nearly 6.8 million people have fled their homes, seeking safety in other parts of the country or neighboring nations. Several cease-fire agreements brokered by Saudi Arabia and US mediators have failed to end the violence.

A Sudanese court in military-controlled Port Sudan has sentenced a man to death for his alleged support of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), marking yet another escalation in the crackdown against those perceived as aligned with the RSF. State-run media reported the verdict on Friday, highlighting the increasingly harsh measures taken by the military-backed authorities. The convicted man, identified as M.J.M., faced accusations of “collaborating with the RSF, undermining the constitutional system, and inciting war against the state,” according to the Sudan News Agency (SUNA). A second individual, E.H.N., received a 10-year prison sentence on similar charges. This ruling fits a troubling pattern of aggressive actions against those deemed RSF sympathizers, as the conflict between General al-Burhan’s Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the RSF escalates. Courts are handing down swift and severe punishments, including death sentences and long prison terms, with little room for appeal. In a similar case in September, a court in Dongola sentenced 17 RSF fighters and one civilian to death for their alleged involvement in an attack on Merowe airport during the early days of the conflict. The wave of prosecutions has raised concerns about the integrity of the legal process, as many view these trials as politically motivated and potentially unfair, taking place amid a wider backdrop of humanitarian suffering and human rights abuses triggered by the ongoing conflict. Critics argue that these rulings reflect an authoritarian effort to eliminate RSF support and silence dissenting voices.

The “Sudan Ship,” carrying approximately 2,500 tons of relief supplies through a collaboration between Turkey and Kuwait, arrived in Port Sudan on Wednesday. Sudanese officials, including Culture and Information Minister Graham Abdelkader and Transport Minister Abubakr Abu al-Qasim, were present to welcome the aid vessel. Among the notable attendees were Turkish Ambassador to Sudan, Fatih Yildiz, and Mohammed Ibrahim al-Hamed, Charge d’Affaires of the Kuwaiti Embassy in Khartoum. Selva Adem, Sudan’s Commissioner for Humanitarian Aid, commended Turkey and Kuwait for their ongoing support to the Sudanese people. He reiterated the government’s commitment to delivering aid to those affected by extraordinary circumstances across the country and acknowledged that assistance will still be needed in the post-war period. Ambassador Yildiz emphasized Ankara’s solidarity with the Sudanese people and government, stating that the aim of this aid, delivered in partnership with Kuwait, is not only to assist those in need but also to raise global awareness of the humanitarian crisis in Sudan. He remarked that, alongside the tragedies in Gaza and Ukraine, Sudan should not be overlooked. Al-Hamed noted that the aid was provided by the Kuwait Relief Society under the directive of Kuwaiti Emir Sheikh Mishal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah. He mentioned that the cost of the aid ship exceeded $2 million and assured that Kuwait would continue its support for Sudan until the country overcomes this challenging period.
