At least 150 people have been killed in floods across the country. 50,000 people living on the western side of the Arbaat Dam that collapsed in Port Sudan have been severely affected. At least 118,000 people had been displaced prior to the dam collapse.

The worst affected states are Northern state, Khartoum, Gezira, Kordofan and Darfur.

Flooding has blocked humanitarian aid getting into Port Sudan and Darfur.

Floods also contributed to the spread of waterborne diseases.

In August, WHO reported at least 11,327 cholera cases in Sudan, 316 of them deadly, since June 2023.
