A landslide has killed at least 370 people in the remote Marra Mountains in western Sudan, a UN official has said.
Antoine Gérard, the UN’s deputy humanitarian co-ordinator for Sudan, said that it was hard to assess the scale of the incident or the exact death toll as the area was very hard to reach.
Sudan Liberation Movement/Army, the armed group in control of the affected area, had earlier said that at least 1,000 people had died.
Days of heavy rain triggered the landslide on Sunday, which left just one survivor and "levelled" much of the village of Tarseen, the group said in a statement.
