Sudan deadly floods affect 300,000 people - WHO
More than 300,000 people across Sudan have been affected by floods that have killed nearly 50 people in August, the World Health Organization has said.
It said the region around the capital Khartoum had been particularly badly hit and was experiencing the worst floods in 25 years.
One of the major risks to health was the collapse of more than 53,000 latrines, the WHO added.
A UN official in Sudan described the situation as "a huge disaster".
