Sudan: Dozens dead in flood disaster, government declares emergency

At about the same time every year, Sudan suffers from the crisis of torrential torrents, which destroy thousands of homes and claim dozens of lives.

This year, Sudan was hit by torrential torrents, which killed about 80 people and destroyed thousands of homes.

According to local newspapers, the losses of the torrential torrents that swept more than 60 villages in central, eastern and northern Sudan have risen to 80 dead, and about 50,000 homes have been completely destroyed, and others are in danger of falling.

More than 50 percent of the agricultural areas on which the local population depends for their daily lives are inundated with water.

This comes as the Sudanese government declared a state of emergency as a result of torrential rains in 6 states.

The Meteorological Authority in Sudan warned that the rains of this year’s season will be higher, and that sudden floods may strike most of the states, which requires caution, especially in low-lying areas.

It is noteworthy that the rainy season in Sudan usually lasts until September, with floods reaching their peak shortly before that.

Last year, floods and torrential rains killed more than 80 people and inundated tens of thousands of homes across the country.
