US EditionFour Million People Have Fled Sudan Since Start of the War
- Over four million individuals have left Sudan since the civil war erupted in April 2023, primarily seeking safety in neighboring countries.
- The conflict began as a struggle for dominance between Sudan's military forces led by Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and the armed faction known as the Rapid Support Forces under Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo.
- The war has displaced 13 million people internally, killed tens of thousands, destroyed infrastructure, caused famine, and worsened child abuse and recruitment as fighters.
- UNHCR has indicated that over eight hundred thousand refugees have fled into Chad, where inadequate shelter and limited funding—only 14 percent of requested aid received—pose serious challenges, while spokesperson Eujin Byun cautioned that ongoing conflict could threaten stability across the region.
- This escalating displacement crisis strains neighboring countries and humanitarian aid, signaling a worsening regional emergency unless urgent funding and protection efforts increase.
