Around 4.8 million civilians have been displaced by the ongoing clashes between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary group, according to the United Nations.
“While more than 3.8 million people have been displaced internally, one million have crossed their country’s border into neighboring countries,” UN Humanitarian Affairs Office (OCHA) reports.
Sudan has been ravaged by fighting between the army and the RSF since April, in a conflict that killed more than 3,000 civilians and injured thousands, according to local medics.
Several cease-fire agreements brokered by Saudi and US mediators between the warring rivals had failed to end violence in the country.
