The Red Crescent Society said today that the floods have injured at least 61 others since July 23 and left more than 8,900 families homeless.
The rainfall has affected over 45,000 people and caused significant damage to key infrastructure, it added.
More heavy rainfall is expected in other parts of Sudan, the society said further.
