At least one man has died after heavy rains collapsed his house at El Jidaid En Nawara in Sudan’s South Kordofan state over the weekend.

A source told Radio Tamazuj Wednesday that over 500 houses and 20 shops collapsed from the storms, resulting in the death of one Sudanese Armed Forces soldier.

The source further said citizens incurred losses worth 500,000 SDG and that many cattle died.

The affected people are living in open areas without food and shelter and that remote administrative units are entirely cut off from the locality headquarters.

“No single government official came to visit the affected people in area up till now,” he said.
