Vaccines are expected to arrive on 20 November, and vaccination campaigns are expected to start by the end of November. The International Coordination Group on Vaccine Provision (ICG) Secretariat (WHO, UNICEF, MSF, IFRC) approved the Federal Ministry of Health’s request for more than 2.9 million doses of oral cholera vaccines (OCV) for reactive vaccination campaigns in nine localities of Gedaref, Al Jazirah and Khartoum states.

Surveillance is ongoing in affected and high-risk areas to identify and address risk factors. Humanitarian agencies are scaling up the response to the outbreak, supporting the detection and treatment of cases. More than 3.1 million people are estimated to be at risk of acute watery diarrhoea (AWD) and cholera in eight states between July and December 2023. At least 2,525 suspected cases of acute watery diarrhoea/cholera, including 78 associated deaths, have been reported from 27 localities in Gedaref, South Kordofan, Kassala, Khartoum, Aj Jazirah and Sennar states as of 9 November 2023.

Sudan declared a cholera outbreak in Gedaref on 26 September.
