Fear of cholera outbreak in West Darfur Format At a press conference in Khartoum yesterday, Ismail El Taj, a leading member of the Sudanese Professionals Association (SPA), warned of cholera and measles outbreaks in El Geneina's shelters of newly displaced people. El Taj stated that such an outbreak could lead to hundreds of deaths. He said that some 109,000 displaced people, mostly children, women and elderly, are living in terrible conditions in 84 shelter centres in El Geneina , capital of West Darfur. "There is nothing to protect them from the cold." More in general, El Taj complained about insufficient health facilities for the newly displaced in El Geneina.
