2013 Sudan floods
The capital Khartoum was reported to be suffering its worst flooding in 25 years, after flash floods struck urban areas earlier in August. While Khartoum is vulnerable to flash floods because of poor drainage and urban planning, the 2013 floods were particular severe. More than 15,000 homes in Khartoum are reported destroyed, with thousands more damaged. The most damage in Khartoum occurred in Shar El-neel, Ombadah, and Karari. In Blue Nile, floods from heavy rains destroyed almost 12,000 houses in Damazine, El Roseires, Giessan, and Bau, with Damazine reporting the most damage.
