Aid workers on donkeys have delivered the first humanitarian supplies to survivors of a landslide that reportedly killed hundreds of people in a remote mountain village in Sudan's western Darfur region. Heavy rains and flash floods that hit Tarasin village triggered the disaster on Sunday and continued, leaving donkeys as the only means to reach the affected families. Francesco Lanino, from the aid agency Save the Children, stated, Families in Tarsin have lost everything. It took our team more than a full day on a rocky, muddy, and hilly route to reach this devastated community. The exact death toll remains unclear, but local sources state that around 1,000 people have died according to the armed group in charge of the area, while the health ministry has reported only two bodies recovered. Local leaders have claimed they have buried 370 bodies, with many more still trapped under rocks. The ongoing conflict in Sudan has compounded rescue efforts, making the situation a tragedy of unimaginable scale as stated by humanitarian agencies. As aid efforts continue, the UN emphasizes the urgent need for international intervention to address the escalating humanitarian crisis in Sudan.
