Sudan Landslide Kills Over 1,000 People

A landslide in Sudan's Darfur region has killed an estimated 1,000 people, with only one survivor, according to the Sudan Liberation Movement-Army. The disaster occurred in the Tarasin village in the Marrah Mountains after heavy rainfall in late August. The region is already plagued by a devastating civil war between the country's military and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, which has killed over 40,000 people and displaced millions. The landslide is considered one of the deadliest natural disasters in Sudan's recent history. The international community, including the United Nations, has been appealed to for help in recovering bodies and providing assistance.

A landslide in western Sudan's Marra Mountains area has killed over 1,000 people, according to the Sudan Liberation Movement/Army. The disaster occurred on August 31 after days of heavy rainfall, destroying a village and leaving only one survivor. The area is controlled by the Sudan Liberation Movement/Army, which has appealed to the United Nations and international aid agencies for help in recovering the bodies of the victims. The region has been affected by a two-year civil war between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), leading to crisis levels of hunger and displacement of millions. The village was sheltering people fleeing the conflict, but the area lacks sufficient food and medication.

A devastating landslide struck Tarasin Village in Sudan's Central Darfur on August 31, killing at least 1,000 people according to the Sudan Liberation Movement/Army (SLM-A). The incident was triggered by days of torrential rainfall and has completely leveled the village. The SLM-A reported that all village residents, estimated to be over 1,000 people, died, with only one person surviving. The figures are yet to be independently verified due to restricted access to the conflict-hit region. Darfur's governor, Minni Minnawi, called the landslide a 'humanitarian tragedy,' and the SLM-A is calling for help from the U.N. and international aid agencies to recover bodies and respond to the disaster. The region has been affected by heavy rainfall and flooding, with many residents seeking refuge in the area after being forced out of their homes by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces. This incident, if confirmed, would rank among Sudan's deadliest natural disasters in recent history.
