The United Nations Children's Fund warned on the 18th that about 3.1 million people in Sudan are at risk of being infected with cholera, including 500,000 children under the age of 5. On the same day, UNICEF said in a social media post that the ongoing conflict has seriously affected the health care system in the Sudan, and that factors such as lack of clean drinking water and essential sanitation services have exacerbated the spread of cholera in the country. To help the Sudan respond to the cholera outbreak, three international agencies, including UNICEF, provided 404,000 doses of the cholera vaccine to the Sudan last month and this month, respectively.
