More than 200,000 people, including over 20,000 children, are facing a worsening humanitarian and public health crisis in western Bara in Sudan’s North Kordofan State amid cholera and measles outbreaks and acute shortages of food and medicine, a Sudanese medical group warned Sunday, Anadolu reports.

“More than 200,000 people, including over 20,000 children, are facing extremely harsh humanitarian conditions due to severe shortages of food and medicine, compounded by outbreaks of measles and cholera,” the Sudan Doctors Network said in a statement.

The group said more than 100 cases of measles have been recorded among children at several health centers in Bara, in addition to 45 cholera cases, amid a sharp decline in health services and the absence of essential medical supplies.

It said several health facilities, including Tayba al-Zaatari Hospital and Umm Kuraidim Hospital, are currently operating without any medical supplies.

The network warned that the continued disruption of medical and food supplies and the prevention of humanitarian aid from reaching the area “portend a humanitarian and health catastrophe that could increase mortality rates, particularly among children and the most vulnerable groups.”
