Sudan declares state of emergency over deadly floods
The River Nile has crested to its highest level in one hundred years.  At least 103 people have been killed by drowning, houses collapsing and road accidents caused by the flooding. 
Now, thousands of Sudanese families are sleeping in the outdoors, waiting for shelter, food and medicine.

Donating and volunteering are two of the most effective ways to directly help during a humanitarian crisis.
