    SUDAN Situation Report Last updated: 3 Oct 2019 HIGHLIGHTS (3 Oct 2019) Humanitarian partners have developed a cholera readiness and response plan and are seeking US$ 20.3 million for the next three months. Number of suspected cholera cases continues to rise, with 226 cases—including eight deaths— reported in Blue Nile and Sennar states as of 30 September 2019. Federal Ministry of Health has requested Oral Summary of Sudan cholera response plan budget Cholera Vaccine (OCV) to target 1.6 million people in high risk areas of Blue Nile and Sennar states. Forecasts estimate up to 13,200 cholera cases in the next 6 months in high risk states of Sudan.

This is mainly attributed to low access to and coverage of safe drinking water, and sanitation, environmental sanitation and low vaccination coverage; exacerbated by weak health and WASH infrastructures. The country experienced the worst flooding since 2015 creating favourable ground for emergence and aggravation of water-borne and vector-borne diseases such as cholera, dysentery, dengue fever, malaria, etc.

  • Sennar Capital of Islamic Culture 2017 Project. Prelimi
    Sennar Capital of Islamic Culture 2017 Project. Prelimi- nary results of archaeological surveys in Sennar East and Sabaloka East (Archaeology Department of Al-Neelain University concessions) Ahmed Hamid Nassr Previous studies of Sennar East and Sabaloka The study of Sudan’s archaeology, developed through ex- tensive fieldwork in the Middle Nile region of northern and Central Sudan, has been investigated by multiple approaches. Yet despite the long history of this archaeological activity, there are some regions which remain untouched, among them Sennar East and Sabaloka East (Figure 1). However, Central Sudan and the Blue Nile were visited and described by European travellers throughout the 19th century, some of whom described the city of Sennar as a Fung settlement along with descriptions of other sites such as Islamic cemeteries (and qubbat) and villages. Historical notes were also written by scholars of Sudan’s history, such as Tabgaat wad Daifallah (Elzein 1988, 72). The first efforts at systematically recording archaeological sites in Sennar was undertaken by the Jebel Moya expedition in 1904 (Addison 1949, 28). Addition information comes from the exploration and rescue excavations conducted dur- ing the construction of the Sennar Dam (Arkell 1946, 91; Crawford 1951, 30; Dixon 1963, 232). Important informa- tion on Sennar and its place in north-east Africa comes from Figure 1. Location of Sennar East and Sabaloka the travellers’ reports, the city plan and photographs, and with other sites in the region. from people moving from Africa to Arabia through Sennar located 80km downstream of the confluence of the Blue (Crawford 1951, 41; Arkell 1955, 19).
