Sudan crisis forces millions to leave homes in unprecedented migration wave
Sudanʼs internal conflict created worldʼs biggest displacement crisis with over 14 million people leaving their homes. Latest data shows numbers keep growing as people seek safety inside and outside country
The year-long civil conflict in Sudan pushed an un-precedented number of people from their homes creating the worlds biggest displacement crisis of 2024. More than 14 million residents (which makes up about one-third of Sudans population) had to find new places to live
Amy Pope who leads the International Organization for Migration shared new data during her Port-Sudan briefing: around 11 million people moved to different parts inside Sudan while 3‚1 million crossed borders to nearby countries. The numbers dont stop growing — just since Sept there are 200‚000 more displaced people
The mass-movement of people (which affects both cities and rural areas) created huge pressure on neighboring countries that try to help refugees; many of these nations already have their own economic issues to deal with
The situation requires immediate attention from international community as displacement numbers continue rising
