Very concerned about the situation in #Sudan.

Sudanese Red Crescent volunteers are providing first aid services in the hospitals in Khartoum.

But needs are growing.

We @IFRC are ready to support, but parties need to ensure access and safety.

Simulation conducted in the villages of Kivengenyi and Kabuga, all in Karusandara Parish, Kasese District.

Data from the Uganda National Meteorological Authority (UNMA), indicates that in 10 days time, areas of Kasese district are likely to flood due to the ongoing heavy rains.
