The refugee situation resulting from the conflict in Sudan has been a significant humanitarian concern.

1. Large-scale displacement: Hundreds of thousands of people were forced to flee their homes due to the fighting.
2. Internal displacement: Many Sudanese became internally displaced persons (IDPs), moving to safer areas within the country.
3. Cross-border refugees: A substantial number of people fled to neighboring countries, primarily:

• Chad
• South Sudan
• Egypt
• Ethiopia

1. Refugee camps: Overcrowded camps were set up in border regions, often struggling with limited resources.
2. Humanitarian aid: International organizations like UNHCR (UN Refugee Agency) were working to provide shelter, food, and medical care to refugees.
3. Health concerns: Refugees faced risks of disease outbreaks due to poor sanitation and limited access to healthcare.
4. Education disruption: Many refugee children had their education interrupted.
5. Host country strain: The influx of refugees put pressure on the resources of neighboring countries, many of which were already dealing with their own economic challenges.
6. Vulnerable groups: Women, children, the elderly, and people with disabilities were particularly at risk among the refugee population.
7. Return challenges: Even if the conflict were to end, many refugees faced obstacles in returning home due to destroyed infrastructure and ongoing instability.
