Sudan: Heavy Rains and Floods Worsen Suffering of Displaced Persons in Blue Nile State

Damazin city and several areas across Blue Nile State are facing a worsening humanitarian situation. Heavy rainfall and flooding continue to deepen the suffering of thousands of displaced persons living in shelters and displacement camps, compounding an already fragile situation shaped by ongoing armed conflict and a weak humanitarian response.

Field information indicates the rains have flooded large parts of displacement sites. As a result, several temporary shelters have collapsed or sustained damage. The flooding has also made it harder for residents to move around, and for humanitarian assistance to reach affected areas.
