Sudan's Human Exodus: 14 Million Displaced

Over 14 million people have fled their homes in Sudan due to ongoing conflict. This number includes 11 million internally displaced individuals and 3.1 million who have crossed international borders. The data, presented by IOM Director-General Amy Pope, includes those displaced before April 2023's civil war onset.

Over 14 million people have been uprooted from their homes in Sudan, according to the head of the International Organization for Migration (IOM). This alarming figure includes 11 million individuals internally displaced within the nation and 3.1 million who have sought refuge beyond its borders.

Amy Pope, IOM Director-General, revealed these statistics to reporters on Tuesday, highlighting the severe humanitarian crisis facing the region. The exodus has continued in recent weeks, with an additional 200,000 people fleeing the country since last month.

Furthermore, Pope noted that the overall numbers also account for those displaced prior to the outbreak of civil conflict in April 2023, painting a grim picture of Sudan's escalating displacement crisis.
