Geneva: The International Organization for Migration (IOM) on Tuesday revealed that about a fifth of Sudans population have been displaced due to the war in the largest displacement crisis worldwide, noting that more than 10 million people have been recorded fleeing their homes. The IOM said, in its latest report on the situation in Sudan, that more than 2.2 million people have fled to other countries since the war broke out in April 2023, while about 7.8 million were internally displaced, in addition to 2.8 million others who were displaced due to previous conflicts in the country. It pointed out that with the expansion of the scope of operations of the Rapid Support Forces (RSFs) in the southeast of the country in the past few weeks, more than 150,000 have been displaced from Sennar State, many of them for the second or third time after raids launched by RSF militants on markets and homes in small towns and villages in the state. In a related context, Shibl Sahbani, the representative of the World Health Organization (WHO) in Sudan, said in statements after a visit to refugees from the Darfur region, from which half the number of displaced people left, "In Chad, all the refugees I met said that the reason they fled Sudan was hunger," pointing out until there were testimonies and reports about the fighters seizing all the food commodities that were produced by locally displaced people in Darfur. UN and international calls have increased to spare Sudan a humanitarian catastrophe that could push millions to famine and death as a result of food shortages due to the armed conflict that has spread to 12 out of 18 states in the country, claimed the lives of thousands of civilians, and led to the displacement and asylum of more than ten million and 700 thousand people inside and outside the country, in addition to pushing about 25 million people, or more than half of the population, to depend on international aid.
