"More rains are expected in the coming days and the estimated number

noting initial estimates of the damage in the eight affected states.

The UN and its partners have provided a range of emergency relief
items, including tents, plastic sheeting, blankets, water cans,
buckets and mosquito nets from its emergency stockpiles in Khartoum

sanitation services.

"Other emergency support is currently being mobilized, particularly
food, shelter, water, sanitation, hygiene and health services," OCHA
said.

Over 150,000 people have already been affected by the flooding,
according to the Sudanese Red Crescent Society, the Khartoum State
Commission for Voluntary and Humanitarian Work, the Government's
Humanitarian Aid Commission and the International Organization for
Migration (IOM), among other sources.
