On Sunday and Monday, a fire in a market in Gireida and one in Nyala destroyed dozens of shops.
The fire in Nyala's grand mosque, in the northern section, destroyed a total of 23 fruit and spice shops on Sunday. Abdeldin Juma reported the incident to Radio Dabanga as one of the members of the fundraising committee for those affected by the fire.
They presumed that an electric shock caused the flames and estimate the losses to be about SDG1.4 million Sudanese pounds ($208.660).
Meanwhile in the market of Abuja, a camp for displaced people in Gireida, a fire broke out and destroyed a number of shops on Monday afternoon. The intensity of the wind and the lack of a fire fighter in the area caused the flames to spread, doubling the losses of the market. Initial financial losses were estimated at thousands of Sudanese pounds by witnesses of the fire.
