Donkey relief workers are used to reach the village of Tarasin in Darfur

Relief workers on donkeys handed over the first humanitarian supply of survivors from the landslides that were said to have killed hundreds of people in a remote mountainous village in the West Darfur region.

The heavy rains and sudden floods that struck the village of Tarasin, which leads to the disaster on Sunday, which means that donkeys are the only way to reach affected families.

“Families have lost everything. Our team took more than a full day on a rocky, muddy, hills to reach this destructive community,” said Francesco Lenino of the Rescue Agency for Children.

It is still unclear the number of people who died.

The armed group responsible for the area placed the number at 1000, but the Ministry of Health says only two bodies were recovered.

On Thursday, local civilian leaders said they had recovered and buried the bodies of hundreds of people.

“We have regained 370 bodies and buried them. Others are still trapped under the rocks and some of them were transferred by the flood,” Ibrahim Suleiman, a local leader in the local Damu, said in a video clip of the Agence Agency Press.

The footage of the Sudan Liberation Movement/Army (SLM/A), which controls the area and rescuers who gathered at a temporary burial site, showed them to rest for the victims, according to Agence France -Presse.

Mujib Al -Rahman Al -Zubayr, another local leader, said in a joint video with the Associated Press on Thursday that rescuers had found 375 bodies, while more remained besieged underground.

SLM/A remained neutral in the civil war that was fleeing from Sudan for more than two years, and many people fled to the Marra Mountains area where the landslide of the fighting occurred.

Earlier, Antoine Gerard, the deputy of the United Nations humanitarian coordinator of Sudan, gave No. 370 deaths, but he said it was difficult to assess the scale of the disaster or the death toll exactly as it was very difficult to reach the area.

The United Nations said that the evaluation between the agencies “will seek to provide numbers that have been verified in the coming days.”

On Thursday, the 11 -year -old emergency team has received the donkeys delivered medical supplies, food, water and clothes to the affected societies on a journey that took more than six hours.

The agency said that the team includes the medical staff, child protection experts and mental health team, adding that up to 1,000 people were affected.

Mobile health clinics and emergency medical teams have also been deployed to provide immediate care on the ground, as United Nations and partners are preparing to send more supplies to meet additional needs.

“Tarsen is one of the most isolated villages in one of the most remote parts in Sudan. I heavy rains and sudden floods have made the response very difficult,” said Mr. Lanino, Deputy Director of Programs and Operations to save children in Sudan.

In a statement, SLM/A said that the “human catastrophic” situation in Tarasin requires urgent international intervention.

The ongoing conflict in Sudan has also strongly hindered the rescue efforts, according to another help organization, World Vision.

“With the loss of hundreds of lives and societies, we are racing against the time and tremendous challenges to reach the most vulnerable,” said Simon Mane, the national director of the World Vision in Sudan.

About 150 people from Tarsin and neighboring villages have been displaced, where families have now been harvested in nearby societies, according to the International Organization for Migration (IOM).

The ground collapse focuses on a deep humanitarian crisis in Sudan, and it is a nation already in the grip of the crisis, where 30 million people need help.

The heavy rains and floods have affected at least 21 regions across Sudan in recent weeks, with fears of diseases, and experts expect an unusually wet season that will continue until September.
