Highlights
The deadly clashes between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and Rapid Support Forces (RSF) that started in Sudan on 15 April 2023 have continued for 100 days on 23 July.
UNHCR is calling for an end to the fighting, amid serious concerns about the rapidly escalating numbers of displaced people fleeing in search of safety. More than 740,000 refugees, including a growing number of refugee returnees, have fled Sudan and arrived to harrowing conditions in neighbouring countries. Additionally, over 185,000 refugees hosted by Sudan have been forced to move to safer areas within the country, becoming trapped in a relentless cycle of displacement.
On 18 July, UNHCR issued a Media Advisory on the displacement figures for the Sudan situation. Three months since the conflict broke out in Sudan, more than three million people have been displaced within Sudan and into neighboring countries.
On 16 July, the UN Integrated Transition Assistance Mission Sudan (UNITAMS) tweeted that the UN had received credible reports of violations against women and girls since the onset of violence in Sudan. “For three months now, the people of Sudan have endured unspeakable suffering amid violence that is tearing their country apart,” Martin Griffiths, UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, said in a statement on 15 July.
