In early August 1988, severe floods struck Khartoum, the capital of Sudan.[1] On August 4, the Khartoum area received 8.4 inches (210 mm) of rain in 24 hours, more than twice the usual annual rainfall.[1] Heavy rains also fell on August 11 and 13.[1] The rains and subsequent ground flooding destroyed an estimated 127,000 dwellings that had housed approximately 750,000 inhabitants (most of whom had previously been displaced from elsewhere in Sudan).[1] In addition, food and water supplies, sanitation, transportation, and communications were seriously disrupted.[1] Eighty people died in the flooding.[2]
