Sudan: Cholera Operational Update (3 July 2025)

HIGHLIGHTS

• In 2025 alone, over 32,000 suspected cholera cases have been reported in Sudan, fuelling a total of more than 83,000 cases and 2,100 deaths since the outbreak began in July 2024, according to the Federal Ministry of Health. The disease continues to spread across the country amid conflict and collapsing infrastructure.
• More than 33.5 million people — including 5.7 million children under five — are at risk, with rising cases in Darfur and reports of cross-border transmission into Chad and South Sudan.
• Urgent funding of $50 million is needed to sustain the ongoing cholera response. The response plan is currently funded at 16 per cent, but more funds are needed to scale up the response. Without additional support, cases and deaths will rise, supplies will run out, and the outbreak risks further compounding the already dire humanitarian situation.
