Over 12,000 people have died since fighting broke out in Sudan.

In its latest report, OCHA said: “The Armed Conflict Point and Event Data (ACLED) project estimates that some 12,190 people have been killed since fighting broke out in April.”

Compared to the previous four weeks, ACLED recorded a 10% decrease in the number of fighting incidents and a 38% decrease in the number of explosions and remote violence in Sudan.

OCHA added that about 5.3 million people have been displaced in Sudan, of which about 1.3 million have crossed the border into neighboring countries, including the Central African Republic (CAR), Chad, Egypt, Ethiopia and South Sudan.

According to OCHA, the number of suspected cholera cases in Sudan has more than doubled in the past month. In a humanitarian report, OCHA cited figures from the Sudanese Ministry of Health and the World Health Organization (WHO), stating: “As of December 3, the number of suspected cholera cases has more than doubled in the past month to 5,414 cases, including 170 deaths.”

The humanitarian agency added that 2.2 million people in Sudan have been vaccinated against cholera, launched jointly by the Sudanese Ministry of Health and WHO last week.

Sudan has been facing a deteriorating humanitarian situation since deadly clashes broke out between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in the capital Khartoum and other areas on April 15. In early May, Saudi Arabia and the United States sponsored talks between Sudan’s warring parties in the Saudi port city of Jeddah. Several ceasefires have since been reached, but both sides have accused each other of violating them.

In November, OCHA estimated that about two-thirds of Sudan's population had no access to health care and that more than 70% of health facilities in conflict areas were no longer functioning.
