The levels of the Blue Nile this night witnessed a great rise accompanied by heavy rain, which led to the breaking of the covers and shields, a simple dam built by sacks of the soil, of the city of Singa and Umm Benin areas, and the water began to flood the city and its homes, as well as the neighbourhoods of Umm Benin.
Kimo cha maji ya Mto Nile usiku huu kimeongezeka kutokana ma mvua kubwa ambazo zimesababisha kuvunjika kwa vizuizi na kuta za ulinzi ambavyo ni bwawa dogo lililojengwa na magunia yaliyojazwa udongo za mji wa Singa na maeneo ya Umm Benin, na maji yameanza kufurika katika mji na katika makazi ya watu.
