After Heavy Floods Surged Over Northern Sudan, at least 31 People Lost their Lives

Over the course of the last two days, floodwaters have flooded through numerous towns and villages in northern Sudan, causing hundreds of homes to collapse and scores of deaths.

Qureshi Hussein, a spokesman for Sudan’s Civil Defense, reports that the floods in the country’s north have already claimed the lives of 31 people.

After losing his house, Yassin Abdul Wahab had to construct a temporary home for his family.

“People are sleeping in the streets, and the situation is very bad,” he stated.

“We are currently working on building a shelter for the family using materials from the collapsed house,” he stated.

According to officials, around 317,000 people in Sudan have been affected by this month’s heavy rains and flooding.

Of those affected, 118,000 have been relocated as a result of the ongoing conflict in the nation, making this one of the largest displacement disasters in history.

The Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces, or RSF, started fighting on Tuesday, marking the 500th day since Sudan entered the war.
