Several areas in northern Sudan witnessed massive floods on Tuesday, completely and partially destroying more than 10,000 homes.

The intensity of the rains and floods was particularly severe in areas north of Dongola city, as well as in Abu Hamad city in River Nile State, a major center for gold mining activities in the country.

This situation has raised major environmental concerns due to the mixing of flo od waters with waste from mining sites and their sweeping into the Nile River, the main source of drinking water and irrigation for agricultural projects.

Although no official data has been issued on the extent of the losses, activists indicated that at least 10 people were killed and about 50 others were injured as a result of buildings collapsing or drowning in the floodwater.

A correspondent for Radio “Dabanga” reported that refugees in the Qoz Amir camp for Sudanese refugees in eastern Chad are suffering from a severe food crisis due to the non-disbursement of food rations for four months.

He added that the efforts and appeals of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and its partners working in the camp have not succeeded in dissuading refugees from leaving the camp, which has forced some families to beg due to the lack of food.

Refugees in the Qoz Amir camp are witnessing extremely harsh living conditions with the prices of basic foodstuffs rising to their highest level in twenty years, with the price of a ball of corn reaching 1,250 Chadian francs, a ball of millet 1,500 Chadian francs, a jerrycan of oil 15,000 Chadian francs, and a sack of sugar 50,000 Chadian francs.

The International Red Cross has warned of a worsening health crisis in Sudan, where the medical infrastructure has been severely damaged by conflict, and the vast majority of hospitals and healthcare centers in the country have been closed.

According to the committee’s reports, two-thirds of the population are no longer able to access basic health services, making it more difficult to combat malnutrition and disease.

The committee’s health program officer in Sudan, Amelie Chabat, described the situation in clinics as catastrophic, with the wounded and sick suffering from severe shortages of medicine, food and water.

Chabat stressed that children, the elderly and women are the most affected, as they lack the necessary treatments for chronic diseases such as kidney and diabetes.
