A devastating landslide in Sudan’s remote Marra Mountains has killed at least 1,000 people, the Sudan Liberation Movement/Army reported. Triggered by days of heavy rain on Sunday, the disaster “leveled” the village of Tarasin, leaving only one survivor, BBC reported.
The group warned of urgent humanitarian needs, including food, shelter, and medical aid, as survivors face life-threatening conditions. Many affected residents were already displaced from North Darfur due to ongoing conflict.
According to BBC, the landslide adds to the hardship in a region already suffering from civil war, displacement, and famine, highlighting the compounded risks faced by vulnerable communities in western Sudan.
