At least 75 people died and tens of thousands of homes were damaged or completely destroyed. Sudan heavy rains and flooding have gripped the country since the start of the rainy season in May, police said on Tuesday.

Heavy rains are usually recorded in Sudan between May and October. At this time, the African country suffers from large-scale floods almost every year that destroy homes, infrastructure and crops.

The death toll this year has reached “75 dead and another 30 injured,” the National Civil Protection Council explained in a press release yesterday.
