Approximately 13,000 more people are reported to have fallen ill.
The spread of the infection is described as worst in the areas of eastern Sudan that were recently devastated by heavy flooding, but cases have been registered in 10 of the country's 18 provinces.
The situation is exacerbated by the civil war that has ravaged Sudan since April last year, when a tense power struggle between the military and the paramilitary RSF escalated into full-scale war. In the large refugee camps where millions of Sudanese have sought shelter, hygiene products are in short supply, as is access to healthcare and medicine.
Cholera causes diarrhea, stomach pain, and severe vomiting, which can lead to dehydration and death within hours or days if left untreated. The bacterium behind the disease is spread through contaminated water or food.
The war in Sudan has led to the world's largest refugee crisis. Over 13 million people are estimated to have fled their homes since the fighting began, according to the UN, most of them within the country.
