Health funding for humanitarian response in Sudan, the world’s worst crisis, has received only a third of the tens of millions of pounds it needs for this year.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has also received less than 15 percent of the money it needs to carry out its operations, its representative in Sudan said in a media briefing on Wednesday.

The humanitarian appeal’s health sector has only been 35 percent funded, ⁠Dr Shible Sahbani said, as the country contends with its third cholera outbreak in three years. The outbreak has killed 120 people, with another 1,102 suspected cases since May in Kordofan state in central Sudan, he added.
