Across Sudan, heavy rains and flash floods destroy houses, wash away crops – UN relief wing

Several thousand people, mostly internally displaced persons (IDPs), have been affected as heavy rains and floods inundated parts of Kassala province in eastern Sudan, inflicting further misery on communities already vulnerable due to ongoing conflict, UN agencies have reported.

Fierce hostilities continue across Gaza from the air, sea, and on the ground, the UN’s top humanitarian official told Member States on Friday, reporting that 41,000 houses have now been destroyed or severely damaged.

After three days of intense clashes across areas in parts of Ukraine, the number of civilian casualties and damage to critical infrastructure are growing, and the United Nations and its relief partners are working day and night to care for the injured, the Security Council heard on Monday during an urgent meeting on the humanitarian situation in the country.
