A civil society initiative in Sudan's Blue Nile state has called for the declaration of a comprehensive public health emergency in response to a growing dengue fever outbreak. The appeal specifically urges authorities to implement a full week-long closure of the state capital, Ed Damazin.
The proposed lockdown is intended to contain the epidemic and facilitate necessary containment and response operations within the city. No further details regarding casualty figures or the exact spread of the disease were provided in the initial reports.
