Sudan landslide erases entire village, with hundreds feared dead

A landslide in western Sudan's Marra mountains has erased the entire village of Tarsin, with hundreds and potentially up to 1,000 people feared dead. The area has been a haven for thousands of Sudanese displaced by the country's ongoing civil war between the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces. The ongoing conflict, combined with the rugged terrain, is severely impeding rescue efforts and the delivery of international humanitarian aid. Authorities warn that continuing landslides are endangering nearby villages, worsening an already dire situation for a population suffering from war and hunger.
