63 dead in Sudan gold mine collapse
Sixty-three people have died following the collapse of a gold mine in West Kordofan State, Sudan, in an incident at the Zareb mine in Al-Nuhud locality. The collapse affected roughly ten shafts unexpectedly, with more than 300 individuals believed to be trapped inside. Rescue teams from the local community carried out the recovery of the bodies, while search efforts continue for the missing, facing difficulties due to the depth of the shafts and limited equipment. Small-scale mining is a main source of income in Sudan, employing over 1.5 million miners and producing around 80% of the country's gold, which reached a production of 70 tons in 2025. Despite this, accidents are frequent due to weak safety measures and deteriorating infrastructure.
