Sudan: 800, 000 people in desperate need of humanitarian support

SANAA, Sept. 29 (YPA) – Tens of thousands of people affected by this year’s massive floods in Sudan are in desperate need of humanitarian support.

The UN estimated that at least 800,000 people have been affected with over 100 people killed. Extensive assessments by UNHCR have revealed that some 125,000 refugees and internally displaced people are among those affected, according to Reuters.

The most affected states are West, South and North Kordofan, Sennar, Darfur, East Sudan and Khartoum.

Vulnerable refugees and locals alike have been hardest hit by the extreme weather. Many houses, critical water points and latrines across the country have been destroyed or damaged.
