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.

While previously concentrated SUDAN scale in less densely populated states, it has now spread to the capital, Khartoum, a much more densely populated area. The onset of the Cholera outbreak rainy season this month is also likely to act as an aggravating factor. The areas most at risk are White Nile and Khartoum, while the population group most at risk are vulnerable South Sudanese Need for international Not required Low Moderate Significant Major refugees. There is also a risk that it will spread to Darfur in the assistance X rainy season, where poor infrastructure, vulnerable IDP Very low Low Moderate Significant Major populations, and ongoing conflict would heighten the Expected impact X humanitarian impact of the outbreak. Key priorities WASH: Lack of clean drinking water and poor sanitation facilities create favourable conditions for the spread of infection. Crisis overview Health: Lack of medicines, and overcrowded and understaffed health facilities are a major problem.

  • Sherkole/Kurmuk, Ethiopia
    Field Dispatch: Refugees from Blue Nile Recount Atrocities, Government’s Targeting of Civilians November 1, 2011 By Amanda Hsiao and Omer Ismail The names of some of the refugees interviewed have been changed to protect their identities. SHERKOLE REFUGEE CAMP, Ethiopia – Sudanese government forces and militias are killing and raping civilians in Blue Nile state, according to refugees who recently fled the fighting. These alarming new details about how the war in Blue Nile is being conducted emerged from an Enough Project trip to the Ethiopian border—where nearly 29,000 Sudanese refugees have sought safety—and underscore the need for further investigation and international access into the area. ------------------------------------------ At 2 p.m. in the Ethiopian border town of Kurmuk the explosion of a bomb rang out as it was dropped from a plane in nearby Sudan. Kurmuk, Ethiopia sits a mere 500 meters across the border from Kurmuk, Sudan—a stronghold for the rebel SPLM-North. Aerial bombardments had been ongoing since the early morning, followed by shellings in the afternoon, according to a group of refugees. The refugees were the latest influx of Blue Nile residents that had crossed the border, some waiting to be transported to one of two refugee camps deeper into Ethiopia. Within the next hour while Enough visited the area, two more bombs exploded. In early September the Sudanese government initiated its third conflict along the South Sudan- Sudan border in the state of Blue Nile. Even more so than in neighboring South Kordofan, few independent observers have been allowed access into the war zone.

Dashed lines on maps represent approximate border lines for which there may not yet be full agreement. Cover photo: ©FAO The Sudan 2020 Flood impact rapid assessment September 2020 A joint assessment with the Government of the Sudan Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations Rome, 2020 Assessment highlights • Torrential rains and floods combined with the historical overflow of the River Nile and its tributaries caused devastating damages to agriculture and livestock across the Sudan. In the rainfed agriculture sector, around 2 216 322 ha of the planted area was flooded, representing 26.8 percent of cultivated areas in the 15 assessed states. • The production loss due to the crop damage by floods is estimated at 1 044 942 tonnes in the rainfed areas. Sorghum – which is the main staple food in the country – constitutes about 50 percent of the damaged crops, followed by sesame at about 25 percent, then groundnut, millet and vegetables. • The extent of the damage to planted areas in the irrigated sector is estimated at 103 320 ha, which constitutes about 19.4 percent of the total cultivated area. The production loss is under estimation.
