Sudan Dam Collapse Kills 30-60, Worsens Crisis

The collapse of the Arbaat dam in Sudan's Red Sea state has resulted in severe flooding, killing at least 30 to 60 people, with hundreds still missing. The disaster has wiped out at least 20 villages and impacted around 50,000 residents, leaving many stranded or forced to seek refuge in mountainous areas. The dam, which was the primary water source for Port Sudan, has intensified the humanitarian crisis in a region already suffering from ongoing civil war, famine, and a recent cholera outbreak. Rescue efforts are hindered by damaged communication networks and continued heavy rains. Authorities are deploying resources to aid stranded individuals, but the situation remains dire with concerns over water scarcity and further casualties.
