The National Flood Taskforce convened in Khartoum on August 20, 2013, to address critical WASH issues following significant flooding. Key problems identified include damaged shelters, water-borne diseases, and contamination of drinking water sources. As a response, 96% of Basic Health Units (BHUs) in Khartoum are now operational, with ongoing water tankering by organizations like MSF and monitoring of water quality by health agencies. Supplies are pre-positioned, and information sharing continues amidst challenges of situation instability.
