Sudan Doctors Network warns that more than 200,000 people, including over 20,000 children, face severe humanitarian and public health threats in western Bara, North Kordofan, amid measles and cholera outbreaks and acute shortages of food and medicine. The group reported more than 100 measles cases among children at Bara health centers and 45 cholera cases, while two hospitals operate without medical supplies. Sudan's health ministry has recorded 911 cholera cases and 127 deaths in North and West Kordofan, and the network appealed to the UN and relief agencies for urgent deliveries to prevent rising mortality.
