KHARTOUM, Aug. 11 (Xinhua) -- The death toll from the heavy rains, which have hit many Sudanese states, has climbed to 53, Sudan's Health Ministry said on Saturday.
Flooding, a yearly occurrence in Sudan, typically happens between June and October. Over the past three years, heavy rains have claimed hundreds of lives and destroyed vast swathes of agricultural land.
