The United Nations (UN) High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi has urged concerted international efforts to resolve the conflict in war-torn Sudan after the number of displaced people in the country surpassed 10 million since fighting broke out in April 2023.
According to the latest data from the UN agency International Organization for Migration (IOM) in June, more than 10 million people have been displaced due to the persistent conflict in this northeastern African country, with over two million fleeing to neighboring countries such as Chad, South Sudan, and Egypt.
Data from the UN showed the deadly clashes in Sudan have claimed more than 15,550 lives so far and have left millions of Sudanese at imminent risk of famine.
