84 deaths in Sudan rains since June
- From June to October, it is the rainy season in the country. So far this year, the Uriolas have caused 84 deaths and 67 injuries and have affected 102,000 more people, including refugees from South Sudan. Several NGOs have called for the evacuation of the population from the areas at risk in Gipuzkoa and Navarra.
According to the Forua Foundation, dozens of people have died electrocuted, crushed by buildings and drowned due to the flood of the river. “In total, 84 people have died and 67 others have been injured in eleven states of Sudan since the rainy season began,” said the country’s civil defence spokesman Abdel Jalil Abdelreheem. However, cases may rise, as rains in Sudan tend to extend from June to October.
According to data published by the United Nations, torrential rains have affected over 102,000 people worldwide. In addition, the water has destroyed 8,400 houses and caused more than 27,000 water victims throughout the country. In addition to the loss of housing and property, the events will have long-term consequences for citizenship. In fact, in many areas they live from agriculture and livestock, which has led to a loss of crops.
The report, disseminated by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, contains data from early September. Between 4 and 6 January, torrential rains have affected 53 localities in White Nile State. 61,000 people (12,000 families) have suffered: 35,000 of them have been refugees in the Republic of South Sudan.
The level of the rivers has been between 16 and 17 meters high. Many neighbours in the area have had to be displaced, while others have taken refuge in nearby schools and health centres, where they have taken refuge. NGOs call for the evacuation of the population from dangerous areas: The White Nile State Humanitarian Aid Committee and the Sudan Red Crescent are prepared to use vessels for evacuations. Specifically, the destinations of the organizations are Juda, Kilo 8, Kilo 4 and localities close to the island.
Data for 2020
A year ago, Sudan declared a state of emergency because of the heavy rains that hit the country for three more months. In 2020, at least 100 people lost their lives. On the other hand, 650,000 people were affected by the rains and 110,000 homes were destroyed and damaged, according to the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. Also then, the rivers rose to about 17 metres of water level and sunk numerous refugee camps in the vicinity.

We barely know what's going on in Sudan -- but we seem to know why it's fixed: ego. Two generalist gallos are chained and trapped among them 50 million Sudanese. In times when you do not do much more than copy and paste, the explanation is sold in all seriousness from anywhere... [+]
