Avalanche in the Marra Mountains: over a thousand dead

A landslide occurred in the Marra Mountains located in the western Darfur region of Sudan after heavy rain. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

According to the Sudan Liberation Army, at least over a thousand people died in this natural disaster. The village of Tarasin was completely destroyed, with only one person surviving.

Many people are in critical condition due to the landslide and urgently need assistance. The armed group has appealed to the United Nations and international organizations for help.

This is because many residents in this area had already fled their homes due to the ongoing civil war and sought refuge in the Marra Mountains. The governor of Darfur, Minni Minnawi, called this event a great tragedy and urged the international community to provide aid.

He emphasized that the local population cannot overcome this disaster on their own. The civil war ongoing in Sudan since April 2023 has led the country into famine and crisis.

According to various sources, nearly 150,000 people have died since the conflict began, and more than 12 million have been forced to leave their homes. These events pose a serious threat to Sudan's peace and stability.

Rapid and effective assistance from the international community is of great importance.
