The civil war in Sudan, which began in 2023, has resulted in over four million people fleeing the country, marking a devastating milestone in a profound displacement crisis. The UNHCR emphasizes that continued conflict could force even more individuals to seek refuge, destabilizing the already strained regional dynamics. Among those that have fled, many have faced dire conditions in neighboring Chad, with severe funding shortages exacerbating the crisis. Internally, about 10.5 million individuals remain displaced within Sudan, indicating the catastrophic effects of escalating violence, particularly in Darfur, where humanitarian aid efforts are under attack.
The war has been raging in Sudan between its military and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary group, intensifying violence particularly in the Darfur region.
This is an unprecedented crisis that we are facing. This is a crisis of humanity. This is a crisis of protection, based on the violence that refugees are reporting.
If the conflict continues in Sudan, we expect thousands more people will continue to flee, putting regional and global stability at stake.
Eujin Byun from the UNHCR stated that over four million people have fled Sudan, marking a devastating milestone in the world's most damaging displacement crisis.
