Heavy rainfall beginning in July 2024 triggered widespread flooding across Sudan. The country was already destabilized by the civil war that erupted in 2023, which had displaced millions of citizens and severely weakened infrastructure and emergency response capacity throughout the nation.
Floodwaters inundated parts of Sudan in 2024, killing at least twelve people, injuring seven more, and affecting a total of at least 12,506 individuals. The disaster unfolded against the backdrop of an active civil war and a deepening humanitarian emergency that had already strained the country's resources.
The floods exacerbated the suffering of already-vulnerable populations, particularly the millions of Sudanese citizens who had been internally displaced by the civil war. The concurrent crises compounded damage beyond what the flooding alone would have caused, deepening the humanitarian crisis affecting the country.
