The council also designated Sudan a natural disaster zone, state-run Sudan News Agency [SUNA] reported on Saturday.<\/p>\n\n
Meanwhile, the Sudanese minister of labor and social development said in addition to the deaths, floods this year have injured 46 people, inflicted damage on more than half a million people and caused the total and partial collapse of more than 100,000 homes, according to SUNA.<\/p>\n\n
The rates of floods and rain for this year exceeded the records set during the years 1946 and 1988, with expectations of continued rising indicators, minister Lena el-Sheikh added.<\/p>\n\n
The council also announced the formation of a supreme committee headed by the ministry of labor and social development to deal with the ramifications of the floods for the fall of 2020, SUNA said.<\/p>\n\n
Sudan\u2019s rainy season begins in June and continues through to October, which means the country experiences floods and torrential rains annually.<\/p>\n\n
The committee warned on Friday the country may face more rains, adding that the water level in the Blue Nile rose to a record 17.58 meters.<\/p>\n<\/div>","content_source":"","content_url":"","content_columns":"0","content_date_start":"2020-09-07 18:27:09","content_date_finish":"2020-09-07 18:27:09","content_date_register":"2020-09-07 18:53:41","content_date_last_edit":"2020-09-07 18:53:41","content_show_img":"1","content_show_details":"0","content_show_related_img":"0","content_show_slider":"1","content_show_title_slider":"1","content_comment":"1","content_score":"0","content_recorded":"0","content_confirmed":"0","content_status":"1","content_kind":"0","tag_id":"19891","tag_word":"Sudan,Sudan,Defense Council,Defense Council","tag_service":"0","tag_total":"16","tag_soundex":"","attach_token":"2608896184","attach_date_register":"2020-09-07 18:53:33","attach_id":"9960","attach_file_ext":"jpg","attach_file_header":"image\/jpeg","attach_img_type":"2","attach_img_width":"300","attach_img_height":"168","attach_file_media":"1","attach_show_watermark":"0","score_average":null,"score_count":null,"score_date_last":null,"visit_count":"448","visit_date_last":"2024-11-02 05:54:22","attach_title":"Sudan Declares State of Emergency After Deadly Floods 2","node_title":"Important,News","ot_node_left_right":"[{\"node_id\":98, \"left\":2, \"right\":11},{\"node_id\":125, \"left\":62, \"right\":63}]","node_number":"4","allowable_node":"4"}]]
