Today, more than 30 million people in Sudan needhumanitarian assistance, including over 20 million in urgent need of healthservices.Insecurity, shortages of medicines and supplies, and repeated attacks onhealth facilities and personnel have made access to health care nearlyimpossible. Hospitals have closed or are only partially functioning. People aredying from diseases, malnutrition, conflict-related injuries and the lack ofessential medicines, vaccines and lifesaving services.Some two-thirds of Sudan’s states are battling three or more diseaseoutbreaks at once, including cholera, dengue, measles and malaria, as a resultof the breakdown of surveillance, vaccinations, clean water systems and vectorcontrol. With immunization campaigns disrupted, children are dying frompreventable diseases.An upsurge in cholera and dengue in Khartoum and neighboring statestriggered WHO to release US$950 000 from the CFE in April. With this funding,WHO delivered 46 tons of cholera kits and supplies to affected states(Khartoum, Northern, Sennar, River Nile, North Kordofan) and surged ninetechnical specialists to support the Ministry of Health and partners withsurveillance, case management and an oral cholera campaign.CFE resources were also used for training of 600 health care workers across 12treatment facilities in infection prevention and control (IPC) / water, sanitationand hygiene (WASH). WHO will also direct CFE funds for an integrated vectormanagement campaign in and around Khartoum, benefitting 189 000 people.The impact has been immediate, with cases of cholera decreasing from 1500per day at its peak in May to 30 cases at the end of June.CFE funds are also being used to reinforce emergency health coordination andresponse in El Geneina and West Darfur, as well as to provide medical suppliesand emergency health services for displaced people in Darfur.Remaining CFE funds will continue to support supply chains for Darfur andKordofan; emergency team deployments; and to reactivate health facilities,stabilization centers and mobile clinics in Khartoum and Al Jazira. Resourceswill also be used to procure emergency health kits, including for themanagement of severe acute malnutrition with complications.In 2025, WHO hasappealed for US$135 million for the humanitarian healthresponse in Sudan, with only one-fifth funded so far. WHO calls on all parties tothe conflict in Sudan to ensure unimpeded, sustained humanitarian access.
