Thousands of people in Sudan’s River Nile state have been left homeless as a result of flash floods and rains.
According to Sudan National Council for Civil Defence, 52 people died and 25 were injured.
“238 health facilities were affected, 1,560 water sources and over 1,500 latrines were damaged or washed away,” OCHA said on Sunday.
