Up to 1,000 people are feared dead in the tragedy, which occurred on Sunday in Tarsin village, located in the Jebel Marra range on the border of Central and South Darfur states.<\/p>\n

The landslide was triggered by days of heavy rain.<\/p>\n

\u201cI extend my heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims and to the people of Sudan at this tragic time,\u201d Luca Renda, interim UN Humanitarian and Resident Coordinator in the country said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the UN and partners are mobilizing to provide support to the affected population.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe humanitarian community stands in solidarity with the people of Sudan and will spare no effort to ensure that aid can reach those in need without delay<\/strong>,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Refuge amid war<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The UN migration agency IOM expressed sadness over the loss of life due to the catastrophic landslide, which is among the deadliest disasters in Sudan\u2019s recent history.<\/p>\n

The tragedy comes amid the brutal ongoing war between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and a militia group known as the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) that has displaced millions since April 2023.<\/p>\n

The Marrah Mountains have become a refuge for families fleeing violence in the besieged city of El Fasher in North Darfur and surrounding areas.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe area remains largely inaccessible to humanitarian organizations due to ongoing conflict and restrictions, compounding the hardship of those affected,\u201d IOM said.<\/p>\n

The agency urged all parties to the conflict to ensure the safety of aid workers and civilians, in line with international humanitarian law.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
