Briefly

Sudan refugees returning home face new struggle for survival': UN
"Nearly 4 million people have voluntarily returned to their places of origin in Sudan, but they face a new struggle for survival amid destroyed communities and infrastructure."
"The conflict between the Sudanese army and paramilitary Rapid Support Forces has killed tens of thousands and displaced millions since it erupted in April 2023."
"Farmers returning to their fields find that irrigation systems and equipment have been destroyed, leaving food production at breaking point against a backdrop of food insecurity."
"IOM has reached four million people in Sudan with humanitarian aid since 2023, but the return of displaced individuals will be unsustainable without urgent investment."
Approximately 4 million people have returned to Sudan, primarily to Khartoum and Al-Jazirah, seeking to rebuild their lives. However, they encounter destroyed communities and a critical need for investment in infrastructure. Many return due to perceived security improvements or unbearable conditions in displacement. The ongoing conflict has resulted in significant casualties and displacement, with millions facing food insecurity. Farmers returning to their fields find essential irrigation systems destroyed, exacerbating the food crisis. Humanitarian aid has reached four million people, but urgent investment is necessary for sustainable recovery.
