In plain language

A wildfire has been confirmed in parts of South Sudan and Sudan during October 2026. This event is currently rated at a moderate severity level as it moves through the forest areas.

What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an uncontrolled fire that burns through wildland vegetation like forests or grasslands. They often start during dry seasons when hot weather and dry plants provide fuel. A single spark from lightning or human activity can ignite these materials, quickly spreading if there is enough wind and oxygen available.

If you are near a fire area, stay indoors to avoid breathing smoke and always follow instructions from local safety officials.
