By Our Reporter
When it rains,
it pours floods for people in Sudan and so far at least 10 are confirmed to have died, while many are
still missing and property worth millions of shillings destroyed by the floods.
Reports coming
in indicate that downpours this past week in the south-eastern state of Blue
Nile, Sudan, caused a dam to burst and collapse on July 29th potentially
compromising access to water for over 84,000 people.
The Sudanese
Civil Defense reported on Thursday that this incident caused the consequent
damage - and in some cases total destruction, of around 3000 homes. It appears
some 1,800 homes were completely destroyed while just over 1,500 were partially
ruined.
