Nile floods in Egypt, Sudan reignite Ethiopian dam spat
Men from Wad Ramli village, north of Khartoum, wade through floodwaters as residents evacuate the area after it was inundated by the Nile on October 1, 2025.
Rising Nile waters inundated homes and fields in northern Egypt over the weekend, forcing residents to move by boat and intensifying a war of words between Cairo and Addis Ababa over whether Ethiopia’s giant Nile dam has worsened seasonal floods.
In the Nile Delta village of Dalhamo, in Menoufia Governorate, some 50 km (31 miles) northwest of Cairo, men paddled wooden boats through narrow lanes where water lapped at the walls of their homes.
