More than 9 million people are thought to be internally displaced in Sudan. Over 1.5 million refugees have fled to neighbouring countries
The UN official warned against massive migration if the civil war in Sudan continues. People, it said, would look for places beyond their immediate neighbours. The UN Immigration Department has warned that displaced people inside Sudan, would move towards relatively safer places like Libya, and Tunisia, and finally cross the Mediterranean.
More than 9 million people are thought to be internally displaced in Sudan. Over 1.5 million refugees have fled to neighbouring countries. The turmoil in Sudan started some 10 months ago in the capital, Khartoum, and quickly spread to other areas of the country. Several countries neighbouring Sudan — Chad, Central African Republic, South Sudan, and Ethiopia — have their problems. Those countries will be unable to give refugees enough assistance.
Therefore, the UN Agency has warned that refugees would move further toward northern countries like Tunisia, where some have been documented planning to cross to Europe.

The UN Agency said that conflicts in places like Sudan, Congo, Afghanistan, and Myanmar should not be overlooked during the wars in Ukraine and Gaza. The United Nations says at least 12,000 people have been killed in Sudan’s conflict, although local doctors’ groups say the true toll is far higher.
