2020 Sudan floods

In September 2020, a large amount of rainfall in Sudan caused a massive flood across at least 16 Sudanese states with the Blue Nile reaching water levels not seen for a century.

It is the most severe floods recorded in the region. A state of emergency was declared, and teams have worked to prevent damage to threatened archaeological sites.

The flood affected more than 500,000 people, destroyed more than 100,000 homes, and killed over 100 people.^[1]^[2]
