This year’s devastating Nile floods have so far caused the deaths of dozens of Sudanese citizens.

According to Relief Web on Monday, the heavy rains and flash floods in the country have affected 300,000 people and destroyed 15,000 homes.

Abdullah Shangarai, the Red Sea state governor, and Egypt’s General Consul in Port Sudan Sameh Farouk Shehata received the shipment at Port Sudan International Airport.

Governor Shangarai extended his greetings to the Egyptian government, affirming that the aid reflects the firm bilateral relations gathering the two countries on the official and popular levels.
