Sudan faces a devastating humanitarian crisis as torrential rains and floods claim 173 lives and injure 505 people since June, according to the country's Health Ministry. Over 170,000 residents have been impacted across 11 states, with homes flattened and farmland submerged. 🌍
In Kassala State, the overflowing Gash River has turned streets into rivers, destroying crops and displacing families. The situation worsened after the Arbaat Dam collapse near Port Sudan on August 25, which alone caused 60 deaths and crippled critical infrastructure. 🏚️⚡
Authorities report 18,665 homes destroyed and 14,947 damaged, leaving thousands sheltering in makeshift camps. Relief efforts are strained as roads remain impassable. With the rainy season ongoing, fears grow about disease outbreaks and food shortages. 🤝🇸🇩
