27.9, floods

Sudan: the worst floods in living memory in Sudan killed 150 people, made hundreds of thousands homeless and cost the country an estimated $300.0mn in damages. The latter include damage to 1,748 public buildings. Heavy and early winter rains caused flash floods and forced rivers to burst their banks in Africa’s largest country, which is recovering from decades of multiple civil wars. About 73,000 houses were completely destroyed and 29,000 partially destroyed, according to the country’s civil defence authority. In addition to the 150 people that were killed, 302 people were injured by the flooding, with 42,000 livestock lost.
