Khartoum: A massive landslide in Sudan's western Darfur region has flattened an entire mountain village and killed more than 1,000 people, a rebel group said, calling for aid to recover the bodies.
The disaster struck Sunday after days of heavy rain, devastating the village of Tarasin in the Jebel Marra area, the Sudan Liberation Movement/Army (SLM), led by Abdulwahid al-Nur, said in a statement.
"Initial information indicates the death of all village residents, estimated at more than 1,000 individuals, with only one survivor," the group said, calling the landslide "massive and devastating".
The group appealed to the United Nations and other aid organisations for help recovering the dead still buried under mud and debris.
"This is beyond our capacity," the SLM leader Nur told AFP via a messaging app.
