Flooding in Sudan Leaves 132 Dead, Thousands Displaced
News summary

Sudan is facing a severe humanitarian crisis as flooding caused by heavy rains and the collapse of the Arbaat Dam has resulted in at least 132 deaths and left over 129,000 people affected across 10 states. The floods, which have displaced approximately 118,000 individuals, have overwhelmed infrastructure already devastated by ongoing civil conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces. Emergency responders are struggling to determine the number of missing persons as access to affected areas is hindered by flooding. The disaster has exacerbated food insecurity and health crises, including a cholera outbreak linked to inadequate sanitation conditions. Officials have noted that the Arbaat Dam's failure has disrupted water supplies for Port Sudan, complicating the humanitarian response. The situation highlights Sudan's vulnerability to climate-induced disasters amidst ongoing civil unrest.
