KHARTOUM, Sudan (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 1st Apr, 2023 ) �:Sudanese authorities on Saturday reported the death of 14 workers in the collapse of a gold mine north of the country.

Nearly 20 trapped workers were rescued from the gold mine, the broadcaster said.
Witnesses cited the use of heavy machinery by the workers for the mine collapse on Thursday.
