A million people have crossed Sudan’s borders since April, fleeing the devastating war between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, according to the United Nations.
In five months of war, the violence has killed 7,500 people, displaced more than five million and eroded Sudan’s already fragile infrastructure, plunging millions into dire need. “I was in Atbara for two months, but when I heard they were issuing passports again I came to Port Sudan,” said Salwa Omar.
“It’s so crowded it’s hard to breathe. Imagine what these children and old people are feeling,” he said.More than 2.8 million people have fled the Sudanese capital Khartoum, where the pre-war population was around five million. More than half the country is in urgent need of humanitarian aid, according to the UN, and six million people are on the brink of famine.
