Main points

Fall Heavy rains have intensified in Sudan over the past week, causing more flooding, displacement and death, and prompting the Government to declare a three-month state of emergency in the country.

50,650,000 people have been affected since the rains began in mid-July, more than 110,000 in the first week of September alone, according to the Government Humanitarian Aid Commission.

● Thousands of people have been displaced, and many have been housed in schools, creating further challenges for the Government and teachers shortly before schools are set to reopen

. Government and aid workers have helped 200,000 people in all affected areas but the unprecedented flood has exceeded forecast and partners are running out of supplies to continue the response.

. The situation may worsen in the coming days, as heavy rains in Ethiopia and parts of Sudan are likely to cause further rises in water levels in the Blue Nile, leading to more flooding and destruction.

. As shown in the graph below, more people have been affected by floods this year than in the last seven years.

Summary of the situation

Heavy rains and floods continue Torrential rains and floods are affecting an increasing number of people and are causing more devastation across Sudan, according to the Humanitarian Aid Commission (HAC).
On September 13, the HAC reported that 650,000 people had been affected by the floods in 17 of Sudan’s 18 states.
More than 111,000 homes were destroyed or damaged. The floods also destroyed 1,700 hectares of agricultural land, 179 public buildings (schools, health centers and government offices), 359 shops and warehouses, and killed 5,500 head of livestock. Approximately 43 percent of all affected people are in the states of Khartoum, North Darfur and Sennar. HAC warned that more flood-related damage is expected in the coming days on the Nile River and northern states.
The most urgent needs are housing, non-food items and laundry services. Willingness to respond to outbreaks of health as a result of floods and vector-transmitted diseases is urgent. More than 170,000 Sudanese and flood-affected refugees are receiving non-food items in Darfur.
Prior to the rainy season, stocks were positioned in advance to facilitate aid distribution. Stocks were earmarked for a full range of humanitarian response activities – not just potential flood response – for 250,000 people. This number has now been revised to 750,000 people affected, of whom 650,000 have been affected so far. Sectors are reporting that reserves are running out or have been depleted given the scale of the floods.
