Floods and heavy rains kill 76 in Sudan

Floods and heavy rain in Sudan have killed 76 people and destroyed thousands of homes in recent days.
The country’s interior minister said 13 of Sudan’s 18 provinces had been affected by flooding.

The Nile is at its highest levels in more than a century, swollen by heavy rain in many parts of the East African country.
Interior ministry statistics showed downpours and flooding had completely destroyed 3,206 houses, and damaged 3,048 others in the eastern province of Kassala, one of the worst hit areas.
