UN: 1.8 million people to flee Sudan by the end of 2023

  The United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) estimates that more than 1.8 million people will have fled Sudan due to the armed conflict for power in the country, which has been ongoing since April 15 between the military and the RSF. The United Nations organization said this yesterday Monday and explained that the number of people fleeing war and fighting in Sudan has doubled, contrary to the estimate of the refugee institute in May, shortly after the start of the war. UNHCR has said that more than one million people have already fled the country in northern Africa and headed for the countries of Chad, Egypt, Ethiopia, South Sudan and the Central African Republic. According to figures from the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Aid, the fighting has forced more than 170,000 people to flee to the neighboring country of South Sudan.

The UN says the number of refugees arriving in South Sudan from Sudan is expected to continue to increase due to the fact that the internal conflict in Sudan has not yet been resolved.
