UNUSUALLY intense rainy-season flooding has killed 32 people and destroyed thousands of homes around Sudan.
The deaths have been recorded since the start of the rainy season in mid-June, an interior ministry report said on Sunday.
Over the same period 35 people were injured, more than 4700 homes were destroyed, and about 35,000 animals were killed as water levels rose above the average of recent years.
The latest inundations, since early August, have affected at least 1000 families in eastern Sudan and 14,000 people in the far-west region of Darfur, the UN said.
Five years ago, a month of severe flooding destroyed more than 30,000 homes, killed at least 64 people and affected 365,000, the UN said.
