In a statement, the committees - an informal network that counts the victims of the war - said that ‘torrential rains fell on Thursday afternoon, causing the collapse of more than 800 houses in Zamzam camp and more than 118 in Abi Shok camp’.
This informal network called on non-governmental organisations and the relevant agencies to support the people affected by the rains in both camps in Al Fasher, the capital of North Darfur, the army's last stronghold in the region.
The displaced are living in camps in war-torn North Darfur, which constitutes a serious humanitarian and security situation, as the displaced are also exposed to artillery during the ongoing clashes between the army and the paramilitary group Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
The town of Kasala, capital of the state of the same name in eastern Sudan, which borders Eritrea, was also hit today by torrential rains, which the Kasala Observatory described as an ‘unprecedented’ event.
The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) warned of the high levels of rainfall affecting millions of Sudanese who are homeless in the Darfur region of eastern Sudan, as well as in the states of Al Gezira, Blue Nile and White Nile.
Sudan is experiencing a war that began in April 2023 between the Sudanese army and the RSF, which has become the biggest displacement crisis in the world, with ten million internally displaced people and two million refugees, and has caused tens of thousands of deaths.
