A devastating cholera outbreak in southern Sudan has claimed the lives of 58 people and infected approximately 1,300 others in just three days, according to health officials. The outbreak in Kosti is attributed to contaminated drinking water, which was compromised when the city's water supply facility was damaged during an attack. With the city's water treatment plant offline, residents have been forced to rely on potentially tainted water sources, leading to a surge in cholera cases. Health authorities are working to contain the outbreak and provide medical aid to those affected, highlighting the need for improved water sanitation and hygiene practices to prevent the spread of waterborne diseases like cholera and diarrhea.
