Heavy rains have triggered devastating floods across Sudan, displacing thousands and compounding the ongoing humanitarian crisis caused by months of violent conflict.
The flooding has caused widespread destruction, particularly in the eastern regions of the country.
Ahmed Hadab, a resident of eastern Sudan, described the harrowing ordeal his family faced after their home was swept away by the floodwaters.
With limited food and water supplies, they have been struggling to survive.
“The sorghum and flour was taken by the torrent, and two of my goats and my donkey,” he said.
The floods have exacerbated the already dire situation in Sudan, where fighting between Burhan-controlled SAF and Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has displaced millions and caused widespread suffering.
The natural disaster has spread destruction far beyond the areas affected by the conflict.
In Tokar, people were seen being pulled from the water onto the remnants of a bridge.
The Arbaat Dam collapsed near Port Sudan, threatening the freshwater supply for the city. At least 64 people are missing in the area, and many others are stranded with no food or hope of rescue.
The flooding has also impacted other regions of Sudan, including Darfur, where millions are already facing extreme hunger.
The rains have damaged displacement camps and delayed the arrival of crucial aid.
The United Nations estimates that more than 300,000 people have been affected by the flooding.
The disaster has also led to a resurgence of cholera, with 1,351 cases reported as of Wednesday.
