Since the conflict erupted in Sudan in mid-April 2023, some 10 million people have been displaced, with more than 2 million fleeing to neighboring countries. Most Sudanese migrants in Libya settle in Kufra, a sparsely populated region that is predominantly desert. This surge of Sudanese refugees into Libya has created an urgent humanitarian crisis.
