Sudan's Health Ministry announced Tuesday that suspected cholera cases have been detected in four states as the disease continues to spread amid the country's worsening humanitarian crisis caused by the ongoing war.

The announcement came during a meeting of the Federal Emergency Operations Center in Khartoum, where officials reviewed the country's public health situation, according to a ministry statement.

The ministry said suspected cholera cases were recorded in North Kordofan, West Kordofan, South Darfur, and Khartoum states, but did not disclose the number of infections.

It also reported a decline in measles infections, with 25 new suspected cases recorded and no deaths.

On July 10, the World Health Organization (WHO) warned that the cholera outbreak was expanding across the Darfur and Kordofan regions after 114 deaths and more than 1,330 cases were reported, adding that the toll was likely to rise.

The WHO has described Sudan as the world's largest humanitarian crisis, with more than 33 million people in need of humanitarian assistance, including 21 million requiring health services. It said 13.4 million people have been displaced, including 9 million internally and 4.6 million in neighboring countries.
