Context
Nearly 4 million people have now been displaced in Sudan since the conflict started in April 2023. The United Nations Migration Agency (IOM) expressed in a report the scale of the catastrophe engulfing the African nation.
The conflict between Sudan’s rival military factions is triggering massive population displacements that are stressing the region’s already fragile coping systems.
Sudanese people have fled to neighboring countries including Egypt, Chad and Ethiopia.
