Dozens dead and stranded as floods hit Sudan – FRANCE 24 English

At least 30 people have lost their lives in northeast Sudan following a devastating dam collapse caused by intense flooding, according to the United Nations’ humanitarian office. The tragedy has left many more individuals stranded due to the blockage of main roads in the region.

Sudan, a country plagued by years of conflict and instability, has been hit hard by a relentless rainy season that began last month. The north and east of the country have experienced severe and intermittent torrential flooding, exacerbating an already dire situation for the population.

As rescue efforts continue and authorities work to assess the full extent of the damage, the international community stands ready to assist in providing aid and support to those affected by this natural disaster. The unfolding crisis serves as a stark reminder of the urgent need for improved infrastructure and disaster preparedness in vulnerable regions.

Our thoughts are with the people of Sudan during this difficult time, as they navigate the aftermath of this devastating flooding event.
