Sudan declares 3-month state of emergency after record floods
Sudan yesterday declared a three-month national state of emergency after record-breaking torrential floods that cost 99 lives.
"A nationwide three-month state of emergency has been announced as Sudan is considered a natural disaster zone," the interior ministry said on social media.
Floods caused by more than a month of heavy rains have killed 99 people, injured 46 and left 100,000 damaged properties in their wake, one of the worst natural disasters in decades, according to state news agency SUNA.
