UN: Floods displace 1,200 families in Sudan

Shafaqna English- More than 1,200 Sudanese families were displaced by floods in the Bahri city of the Khartoum state, the International Organization of Immigration (IOM) said.

The UN’s agency said in a statement that the floods destroyed five homes and left the majority of houses with partial damage. The agency said many other families left the area in anticipation of possible flood damage, while the displaced sought shelter within host communities in the vicinity.

Recently, several regions in Sudan have experienced floods due to rising water levels of the Nile and its tributaries, the White Nile, which flows from Lake Victoria, and the Blue Nile, which originates from the Ethiopian highlands.
