The International Organization for Migration has reported that over 334,000 people have been displaced in Sudan due to the recent violent clashes between two

military factions. The UN refugee agency says that over 100,000 people have fled from Sudan to neighboring countries, and the fighting is predicted to cause over 800,000 to flee the country.

There has been a series of temporary ceasefires established, however, they have been ignored by both sides, with heavy fighting continuing. The United Nations and other aid organizations have been forced to cut services to Sudan, and while the World Food Program is set to resume operations in some areas, it is with utmost care for the safety of all their staff and partners.
