Flooding and Surging Inflation Threaten Aid to Sudan - UN
Catastrophic flooding and rising food and health costs in Sudan have driven up the number of people in need, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) says. Authorities declared a three-month state of emergency in early September after the worst flooding in 30 years. To date, more than 860,000 people have had houses destroyed or damaged and more than 120 people have died. Some 560 schools and thousands of health facilities have also been affected, compromising essential services to communities, especially in North Darfur, Khartoum, West Darfur and Sennar, which account for 52 per cent of all people affected.
