The most significant cross-border movements so far have been Sudanese refugees arriving in Chad and Egypt.
Over 100,ooo people have fled to neighbouring countries since the fighting between the Sudan Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces began almost three weeks ago, UN refugee agency, UNHCR, said.
“The majority remain severely underfunded. Asylum countries will need additional support to provide protection and assistance. Among the urgent needs are water, food, shelter, healthcare, relief items, gender-based violence response and prevention, and child protection services,” she said. In Chad, more than 21,000 refugees have so far been verified, physically counted and identified, and UNHCR is continuing verification and registration exercises.
The fighting, which is now in its third week, has continued inspite of an agreed ceasefire. Over 550 people have died as a result and 4,926 injured so far.
