Nearly
one hundred people have been killed since early July in Sudan,
where torrential rain has triggered massive flooding. Almost
60,000 houses have been damaged or destroyed and more than
300,000 people have been affected. The river Nile and several
seasonal rivers burst their banks flooding 16 of the country’s
26 states. Flooding on this scale has not been seen for twenty
years.
