Sudan: Sudan said Tuesday that water levels along the Nile River banks are rising, warning citizens of potential flooding. An Irrigation Ministry statement indicated that monitoring stations have recorded flood-level water at Wad Al-Ais, Madani, Khartoum, Shendi, Atbara, Berber, and Jebel Awlia, with waters reaching flood levels in the states of Sennar, Al Jazirah, and Khartoum, as well as along the White Nile.

According to Anadolu Agency, in the past two days, several regions in Sudan have experienced flooding due to the rising water levels of the Nile and its tributaries, the White Nile, which flows from Lake Victoria, and the Blue Nile, originating from the Ethiopian highlands. More than 125,000 people have been affected by rains and flooding in Sudan since June 30, based on government statistics.

Sudan typically experiences heavy rains during the rainy season, from June through October, which often triggers widespread annual flooding. The warning comes as Sudan has been ravaged by war between the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), resulting in the deaths of thousands and the displacement of millions since April 2023.
