Darfur — In Central Darfur, rains and floods wiped away
more than 200 houses, and destroyed 300 acres of
farmlands in Um Shalaya, Azum locality, on Monday.
A farmer from Um Shalaya appealed via Radio Dabanga to
the government of Central Darfur State and aid
organisations to "extend a helping hand to the affected".
More than 20 homes collapsed in Abdel Jabar, Ardeba, and
Toro camps in Kass locality, South Darfur, on Tuesday, the
coordinator of the Kass camps told Radio Dabanga. He
urged relief organisations to intervene "as soon as
possible".
On Tuesday too, 350 homes collapsed in the area of Foro

homes and vast tracts of farmlands in the area", a resident
of Foro Baranga informed Radio Dabanga.
He called on the West Darfur State authorities and relief
organisations to provide tarpaulins and tents to the affected
"as soon as possible".
