Sudan's Ministry of Health announced a Rift Valley fever outbreak, with 319 suspected cases in six flood-affected states and confirmed animal cases in Red Sea and River Nile states. Task force committees have been activated.
The outbreak is linked to floods that created stagnant water breeding mosquitoes.
Livestock disease in Sudan can reduce local herd output and meat and milk supply, but the country's limited role in global trade keeps the price effect small. The outbreak is a regional animal health concern rather than a major global supply shock.
