Sudan Faces Worst Floods in 20 Years

The rains came early this year,causing the Nile and other rivers to overflow.The floods have reportedly affected about one-half-million people across 10 of Sudan's 26 states.Local authorities believe nearly 40 people have lost their lives.The future prospect looks grim as weather forecasters expect the rains to continue until mid-October.They predict as many as 2.5 million people across 16 States could ultimately be affected.Niels Scott, Operations Coordinator for Africa for the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies,tells VOA many thousands of people already have had their homes and livelihoods washed away in the growing deluge."Tens of thousands of people have had their homes damaged and tens of thousands of people have had their homes completely destroyed.And,as for their livelihoods, yes.Crops are wrecked,"said Scott."Grain stores are almost swept away.People's businesses are ruined in a number of places, especially in urban areas.So, the impact is substantial."Scott says access to some areas is difficult and can only be reached by helicopter.He says areas in the north and east of the country are expected to bear the brunt of the damage in the coming months.
