Dengue fever has spread into Sudan's capital for the first time as the country tackles its widest ever outbreak of the disease exacerbated by an underfunded health system, officials say.
According to Sudan’s health ministry report released this week, at least 45 people have died out of at least 2,576 cases recorded since July last year in 12 of the country's 18 states.
