Devastating Flooding in Sudan Sparks Humanitarian Crisis, Health Risks, and Uncertain Agricultural Impact
Heavy rains and flooding have impacted approximately 317,000 individuals across the county, with 118,000 displaced. The storms have destroyed nearly 27,000 homes and damaged up to 31,240 others. Flooding in Northern and River Nile states has caused a rise in scorpion and snake infestations, and the shortage of antivenom has intensified the health dangers posed by these conditions. Humanitarian organizations are collaborating with local authorities to address the urgent needs of those affected by the floods. However, the extent of agricultural damage and livestock losses is still unclear
