Sudan Refugees Face Life-threatening Risks from Floods, Coronavirus, UN Says

Lisa Schlein

   GENEVA - The U.N. refugee agency says heavy flooding in Sudan is
   putting the lives of tens of thousands of refugees, internally
   displaced people, and host communities at increased risk at a time when
   the coronavirus pandemic is spreading.

   An estimated 125,000 refugees and internally displaced people are
   affected by Sudan's worst flooding in a century. The U.N. refugee
   agency says the situation is particularly bad in the regions of East
   Sudan, White Nile, Darfur and Khartoum.
