According to reports by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), quoting Sudan’s Humanitarian Aid Commission (HAC), 12 people lost their lives in Kas locality, South Darfur, after flash floods on 15 July 2022. Over 500 people were affected, 30 homes destroyed and 75 damaged. OCHA said most of the affected people are in two IDP camps, Ardeida (4,320 IDPs) and Al Batary (11,759 IDPs). HAC and humanitarian partners are working to determine the extent of the damage and priority needs of the affected people.
