Emergency cholera supplies bound for several African countries have been delayed due to a logistical bottleneck linked to the war involving Iran, raising concerns ahead of the rainy season.
Stocks pre-positioned in Dubai for high-risk countries including Chad and Sudan remain stranded, disrupting preparedness efforts.
The World Health Organisation has warned that the delays could significantly hamper outbreak response, stressing that cholera can spread rapidly if not contained within days.
Health officials say the disruption comes at a critical time, as the rainy season typically increases the risk of cholera outbreaks across vulnerable regions.
