The Civil War in Sudan has worsened the humanitarian crisis in the country leading to the spread of diseases like cholera which has claimed over 300 lives in the region.
An official of the World Health Organisation (WHO) Margaret Harris made this known at a press conference.
She asserted that 11,327 cholera cases with 316 deaths had been reported and that dengue fever and meningitis infections were also on the rise.
"We expect to have more than has been reported," she added.
