Emergency situation worsens
Fighting, hunger and now flooding in Sudan
Thousands of people are in danger in Sudan after heavy rains and flooding, according to the UN refugee agency UNHCR. Over the past two weeks, several hundred families in the eastern state of Kassala have already had to flee from the floods.
Among those affected are many who had previously fled the fighting in neighboring regions.
A bloody power struggle has been raging in Sudan since April 2023 between the de facto ruler Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and his former deputy Mohamed Hamdan Daglo.
Ten million people displaced
According to the UN, the conflict has triggered the world's largest refugee crisis. More than ten million people have been displaced or fled, many of them several times. There is also a threat of famine in the country.
Further rainfall is expected in the coming weeks. In the Darfur region in particular, the already tense supply situation is likely to deteriorate even further.
