Following the increase in displacement due to floods, DTM Sudan released the following report summarizing incidents of flood-induced displacement across Sudan. DTM field teams reported 29 incidents of heavy rains and/or floods that triggered displacement from locations across 11 states in Sudan, between 1 June and 5 August 2024. 

Highlights  

  • Heavy rain and flooding displaced an estimated 21,370 individuals (4,274 households) between 1 June - 5 August 2024. 
  • Approximately 7,863 structures were either partially damaged or destroyed by the rain and floods, including homes, commercial buildings, and latrines. 
  • Flood-induced displacement was reported in locations across Aj Jazirah, Central Darfur, Kassala, Khartoum, North Darfur, North Kordofan, Northern, Red Sea, River Nile, West Darfur, and White Nile.  
  • The majority of displaced households sought shelter with host communities within the same localities. 

 
Note: All figures should be understood as preliminary estimates, pending further verification. DTM Sudan will continue to provide updates on flood-induced displacement via Early Warning Flash alerts, distributed via the DTM-IOM Sudan mailing list.  For further information on displacement and mobility in Sudan, see Sudan Mobility Update (4).
