- Collapse of Arbaat Dam on Sunday killed 30 people
RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman sent condolences to the Sudanese Transitional Sovereignty Council chairman Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan on Friday following the collapse of a dam in the country, Saudi Press Agency reported.
The collapse of the Arbaat Dam on Sunday killed 30 people, with the toll expected to rise, in the latest tragedy in Sudan as this year’s rainy season wreaks havoc.
The war-shattered country is already suffering from the world’s largest hunger and displacement crises, and floods have prevented aid reaching areas most affected, which is being further disrupted by the conflict between Al-Burhan’s forces and rival paramilitary Rapid Support Forces.
