[周刊王CTWANT] The civil war in Sudan lasted for 4 months. At least 1,105 people were killed and 10,000 were injured in the civil war. Aid workers said morgues in the capital, Khartoum, were saturated and thousands of bodies were rotting in the streets. Doctors and aid groups warned of a possible cholera outbreak.
According to CNN, the International Children’s Rescue Organization stated that the mortuary in Katumu had reached the brink of collapse. Due to the long power outage, the corpses in the mortuary might not be refrigerated, and they were slowly decomposing when exposed to the outside. There were not many medical staff left.
Clashes between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) are understood to have erupted in mid-April, with both sides seeking control of the capital. The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), citing data from the federal Ministry of Health, reported that at least 1,105 people were killed and 12,000 injured in the civil war. It is said that the actual figure may be higher.
According to UNICEF, at least 435 children were killed and 2,025 were injured. According to UN calculations, an average of 1 child is killed or injured every hour. Children’s Rescue pointed to the rising body count and poor sanitation, raising fears of a cholera outbreak in the city.
The organization explained that cholera cases often surge in war zones because they can spread rapidly through sewage. The rainy season in Sudan every June will also increase the number of cholera cases. Now public health laboratories cannot function normally, making it difficult to assess the situation. If it is not treated in time , cholera can kill a person within hours. Most hospitals in Khartoum and other states are now out of service, the organization added.
Abdallah Attiya, a member of the Sudanese Physicians Organization, warned in an interview last week that overcrowding in morgues might lead to disease and epidemic disasters.
