This is the best summary I could come up with:

While floodwaters have receded in some areas, vast tracts of standing water remain, and the malaria parasite is now well-established and circulating in communities that had little prior immunity, Dr. Mukhtar said.

The number of deaths from malaria worldwide stayed largely stable between 2021 and 2022, but at an estimated 608,000 it was still significantly higher than the total of 576,000 in 2019, before the Covid pandemic.

And Ethiopia is among African countries where an invasive mosquito species, Anopheles stephensi, which thrives in urban areas once largely free of malaria, is now spreading the disease.

Climate change is also driving malaria cases where people are displaced by drought, heat waves and storms, leaving them in substandard housing, Dr. Ngamije said.

Food insecurity, rising in sub-Saharan Africa because of floods and droughts, means more children are malnourished, and thus more susceptible to severe malaria.

But the W.H.O.’s approval of a second malaria vaccine that will rapidly increase supply, plus the growing availability of bed nets treated with multiple kinds of chemicals to counter the effect of insecticide resistance, make him optimistic that there will be significant progress next year.

Did we not invent a vaccine the other day? Why are we not erradicating it from the earth?
