Flood |
Sudan |
Heavy rainstorms with gale-force winds were recorded on 31 August in Port Sudan. Several administrative units (Central, Eastern, Southern Administrative Units, Arbaat and Suakin) suffered most damage. Approximately 156,000 people were affected, including 17,000 (3340 households) whose homes and belongings were totally destroyed.
The rainstorm destroyed most of the houses made of mats/grass sheeting or timber, roofs of schools in the area blown off, the few household items owned by IDPs were blown away and latrines flooded. The available water sources were flooded resulting in further contamination by seawater; the price of clean water consequently doubled (from 50SDD to 100SDD). Victims in certain areas ? mainly IDPs from South Sudan, Nuba mountains, Western Sudan, Eritrea and from within Red Sea state- are living in the open next to their destroyed homes.
