Khartoum: More than 1,200 families in Sudan's Khartoum state have been displaced by floods in the city of Bahri, according to the International Organization of Migration (IOM). The UN agency reported that the floods resulted in the complete destruction of five homes, while the majority of other houses sustained partial damage. According to Anadolu Agency, the IOM statement highlighted that many families chose to leave the area in anticipation of further flooding, seeking refuge within nearby host communities. This displacement is part of a broader pattern of flooding affecting several regions in Sudan, driven by rising water levels in the Nile and its tributaries, the White Nile and the Blue Nile. The Sudanese government has reported that more than 125,000 people have been impacted by rains and flooding since June 30. Sudan's rainy season, which spans from June to October, is known for heavy rains that frequently lead to significant flooding each year. This year's floods come amid ongoing conflict in Sudan , with warfare between the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) since April 2023 causing widespread devastation, including thousands of deaths and the displacement of millions.
