More than 1,200 Sudanese families were displaced by floods in the Bahri city of the Khartoum state.
The UN agency said in a statement that the floods destroyed five homes and left the majority of houses with partial damage.
The agency says that many other families left the area in anticipation of possible flood damage, while the displaced sought shelter within host communities in the vicinity.
Several regions in Sudan have experienced floods due to rising water levels of the Nile and its tributaries, the White Nile, which flows from Lake Victoria, and the Blue Nile, which originates from the Ethiopian highlands.
More than 125,000 people have been affected by rains and flooding in Sudan since June 30.
Sudan typically experiences heavy rains during the rainy season, from June through October which often triggers widespread annual flooding.
