A devastating landslide in Sudan's Darfur region has claimed the lives of over 1,000 people, wiping out an entire village and leaving just one survivor. The tragedy occurred in a remote area of Darfur, according to a rebel group that controls the territory. Heavy rains have complicated rescue efforts, making it difficult for aid workers to reach the affected site.
The United Nations reported that local sources estimate the death toll to be between 300 and 1,000, but did not confirm the survival of any individuals. The landslide is the latest disaster to strike the region, which has been plagued by conflict and instability for years.
Efforts to provide aid and assess the full extent of the damage are ongoing, but the challenging weather conditions continue to hinder progress. The international community is closely monitoring the situation, as humanitarian organizations prepare to offer assistance to the affected families and survivors.
