The death toll from flash floods in Sudan since the start of the country's rainy season has climbed to 83, an official said Tuesday as the downpours continued to inundate villages across the east African nation.
Brig. Gen. Abdul-Jalil Abdul-Rahim, spokesman for Sudan’s National Council for Civil Defense, said that at least 36 people have been injured since May. More than 18,200 houses have been “completely destroyed” across the country while around at least 25,600 were partly damaged.
