Violence continues in Sudan amid rising cholera cases: UN

UNITED NATIONS, June 30 — Continued violence and a widening cholera outbreak are compounding humanitarian needs across Sudan, UN humanitarians said Monday.

While armed clashes continue near the Chadian border, some humanitarian partners reported that their operations have been suspended due to the worsening security conditions and communications disruptions, said the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).

OCHA welcomed Monday’s announcement from the Sudanese government to extend the opening of the Adre border crossing with Chad until Sept. 30, saying this will allow the world body to continue to deliver humanitarian aid to those in need.
