A landslide in Sudan's Marra Mountains killed at least 1,000 people on August 31, with only one survivor reported. The disaster, caused by days of heavy rainfall, destroyed a village in western Darfur, an area where many had sought refuge from the ongoing conflict between the Sudanese army and Rapid Support Forces. The Sudan Liberation Movement/Army, which controls the area, called for aid from the UN and international agencies. The region is facing severe food shortages and a humanitarian crisis due to the ongoing war, which has displaced millions.
