Chlorine is dosed in the distribution tanks before the trucks are loaded.
Water chlorination against cholera in Tawila
Tawila, in North Darfur, hosts people displaced from nearby areas in sites where access to safe water is limited. Cholera spreads mainly through contaminated water and food, and every untreated water point raises the risk of new cases.
The project chlorinates the water of wells and distribution tanks and trucks it to the sites. The teams dose the chlorine, measure residual chlorine at the collection points and record the volumes delivered; alongside distribution, they explain to families how to store water in household containers.
Médecins Sans Frontières states that in 2025 it distributed 407 million litres of chlorinated water in Sudan to contain an epidemic. The goal, progress and updates on this page are demonstration figures, not data reported by the organization.

Distribution extended to three new sites
Three sites opened in January were added to the truck rounds. 6,500 cubic metres of chlorinated water were distributed over the period.
Units delivered in this phase: 6500 cubic metres of chlorinated water distributed Reported expenditure in this update: €5,200Storage tanks installed at the collection points
Six flexible tanks were laid to shorten waits at deliveries. 9,000 cubic metres of chlorinated water were distributed over the period.
Units delivered in this phase: 9000 cubic metres of chlorinated water distributed Reported expenditure in this update: €7,200Chlorination started at the first water points
Chlorination started at four wells and their tanks, with residual chlorine measured at every load. 6,000 cubic metres of chlorinated water were distributed.
Units delivered in this phase: 6000 cubic metres of chlorinated water distributed Reported expenditure in this update: €4,800
