At least 60 people have been killed after a dam burst because of heavy rainfall in war-torn Sudan.
Search operations are currently underway, but there are fears that the death toll could be even higher.
The Arbat dam has a capacity of 25 million cubic metres, and is the main source of drinking water for the coastal city of Port Sudan, where the military government is based.
After being ravaged by 16 months of civil war, Sudan is now experiencing torrential rains and floods that have killed dozens and forced tens of thousands from their homes.
