Two young people drowned in the Manga valley in Central Darfur’s Bindisi on Friday. Hundreds of homes were destroyed by torrential rains on Thursday and Friday. Heavy rains and floods<\/strong> isolated 21 villages in El Gedaref.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The torrents caused the valleys in the areas of Bindisi and Mukjar to flood.<\/p>\n

A listener told Radio Dabanga from Bindisi that a 12-year-old girl and an 18-year-old man were swept away by the floods on Friday when they attempted to cross the valley.<\/p>\n

About 150 houses in Bindisi and Mukjar collapsed. The victims are now surviving in the open.<\/p>\n

In Murnei in West Darfur, more than 300 houses and their contents were destroyed, a community sheikh reported.<\/p>\n

He said that large areas of farmland containing millet, sesame, and groundnuts, were flooded.<\/p>\n

El Gedaref<\/strong><\/p>\n

The flooding of various rivers and water ways in El Gedaref isolated at least 21 villages in East and West El Gallabat.<\/p>\n

“Six schools and more than 4,000 homes are damaged or destroyed,” a farmer reported.<\/p>\n

“About 23,000 cultivated acres in Bandagi are now flooded,” he added.<\/p>\n

The farmer expressed his fear of the spread of diseases because of the deteriorating health and environmental conditions. “And we cannot reach a clinic any more now the road is flooded.”<\/p>\n
