When will the international community fully finance the efforts to help Sudan?
When will the responsibility for violence in Sudan occur?
He called on the international community to stop acting with “indifference and impunity” towards Sudan,
“Broken” health system “
Since Sudan conflict broke out in April 2022, civil infrastructure across the country have been damaged or destroyed, including health and water and sanitation systems.
The health system in particular has been “broken into pieces”, according to Mr. Fletcher, leading to epidemics of measles and cholera increasingly disastrous.
Cholera epidemicwhich started in July 2024 and is now confirmed in 13 of the 18 states of Sudan, infected more than 74,000 people in total and killed 1,826.
“I saw the devastation caused by the cholera epidemic in Khartoum, where the health system was devastated by the conflict and has trouble facing the formidable request for health establishments,” I saw the trend of health establishments, Dr. Shible Sahbni, WHO representative in Sudan.
The World Health Organization (WHO), in partnership with the Sudanese Ministry of Health, launches a vaccination campaign on the 10 -day cholera in the state of Khartoum.
The campaign will aim to reach 2.6 million people in order to contain the cholera epidemic in the state.
“Vaccines will help stop cholera on its traces while we strengthen other response interventions,” said Dr. Sahbni.
CPI judges express support for colleagues sanctioned by us
Judges at International Criminal Court (ICC) expressed his solidarity with their colleagues who were recently sanctioned by the United States government, describing the decision as “coercive measures aimed at undermining the independence of the judiciary”.

In the press release, the judges said that they decided and will continue to decide on affairs based on facts and regardless of threats, restrictions or incorrect influence “of any quarter or for any reason”.
“The judges reaffirm that they are equal in the execution of their functions and that they will always support the principle of equality before the law.”
More than 80 million Europeans suffering from neglected chronic respiratory diseases
Chronic respiratory diseases such as asthma are largely underestimated, sub-diagnosed and poorly managed in Europe-affecting 80 million people and costing $ 21 billion per year, the United Nations World Health Organization (WHOsaid Thursday.
A new WHO report in Europe and European respiratory society underlines how smoking and air pollution stimulate the growing crisis.
“We take 22,000 breaths per day, but respiratory health remains one of the most neglected areas of global health,” said Professor Silke Ryan, president of the European Respiratory Society.
6th Cause of death
Data analysis shows that chronic respiratory diseases are the sixth cause of death in Europe. They are often poorly diagnosed due to low diagnostic systems, limited training and inadequate health data.
Although effective treatments are available, deaths related to asthma remain high in young people, while chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is responsible for eight deaths by respiratory disease.
While preparations begin for the high -level meeting of 2025 on non -transmitted diseases, that Europe has urged governments to prioritize chronic respiratory diseases, to fix measurable targets and to fight against deep causes such as tobacco and air pollution.
