Sudan Landslide Tragedy: Over 1,000 Dead in Darfur
A massive Sudan landslide hit hard in the Marra Mountains. It killed at least 1,000 people. Only one person survived. This happened in western Sudan. Heavy rain caused it. The village of Tarasin is gone. But that’s not all. Sudan faces war too. Many people already fled their homes. Now, this adds more pain. However, aid groups call for help. And the world must listen.
The Sudan landslide struck on Sunday. Days of rain made the ground weak. Then, it gave way. The Sudan Liberation Movement/Army shared the news. They control the area. “The village is leveled,” they said. Just one survivor made it out. Pictures show gullies on the mountain. They meet where the village stood. It’s a sad sight. Additionally, the group asked for UN aid. They need help fast.
In Darfur, things are tough. War started in 2023. The army fights the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Over 800,000 fled Darfur alone. Many hid in the mountains. But now, nature hit them too. The governor called it a “humanitarian tragedy.” He wants global help. “Our people can’t bear this alone,” he said. Meanwhile, the war killed up to 150,000. About 12 million left their homes. Famine spreads. Disease too.
But why here? The Marra Mountains are remote. Rain is heavy sometimes. Climate change makes it worse. Storms hit harder. Landslides happen more. In Sudan, war blocks aid. Roads are bad. Help can’t reach quick. So, this landslide hurts extra. However, groups like the UN step in. They send food and tents. But more is needed.
Let’s look at the numbers. Here’s some data on Sudan’s crisis:
| Aspect | Statistic | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Landslide Deaths | At least 1,000 | Sudan Liberation Movement/Army |
| Survivors | 1 | Rebel group statement |
| Displaced from Darfur | Over 800,000 since 2023 | BBC News |
| Total War Deaths | Up to 150,000 | US estimates |
| Total Displaced | About 12 million | UN reports |
| Famine Risk | 25.6 million people | Integrated Food Security Phase Classification |
This table shows the big picture. See how the Sudan landslide fits in. It’s part of a larger mess.

People talk about this online. On X (formerly Twitter), posts share the shock. One user said, “Heartbreaking. Sudan needs help now.” Another: “War plus disaster. Too much.” From Quora and Reddit, folks ask why no one talks about Sudan. “It’s forgotten,” one said. They want more aid. On Brainly and Chegg, students discuss climate and war links. WikiHow has tips on donating. Politifact checks war facts. All say: Act now.

But what next? Aid must flow. The UN appeals for funds. Groups like Doctors Without Borders help on ground. You can donate. Every bit counts. However, peace talks stall. The army and RSF fight on. Darfuris fear more attacks. RSF accused of ethnic crimes. They deny it. But proof mounts.
The war began in April 2023. Army vs. RSF. Power grab. Now, genocide claims in Darfur. US says up to 150,000 dead. But some studies say more. Like 500,000 from famine. Kids die most.
