The International Organization for Migration announced that the ongoing war in Sudan for a year has forced 20,000 Sudanese daily to flee their homes, noting that 53% of the displaced are children.

More than 8.6 million people were displaced last year due to worsening fighting in the country.

“Millions of people are displaced, hungry and vulnerable to exploitation and abuse, but their plight is being ignored by much of the world,” said IOM Director-General Amy Pope, while attending the International Humanitarian Conference for Sudan and its neighboring countries, in Paris.

The situation in Sudan, which is experiencing the world’s largest internal displacement crisis, is further complicated by a lack of funding for the humanitarian response, with only 5 per cent of the $2.7 billion plan aimed at reaching 14.7 million people secured.

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi stated that Egypt hosts about 9 million refugees, noting that it treats them like Egyptian citizens, without setting up camps or camps.

Sisi explained that these refugees consume about 4.5 billion liters of water annually, a major challenge facing the government in conjunction with the needs of the local population.

Sisi added that water challenges are a top priority for the country, prompting the government to implement projects to improve irrigation systems and develop infrastructure worth millions of pounds.

He also pointed to the need to expand desalination and treatment plants, despite their high cost, to make the most of water resources.

The Egyptian authorities deported 700 Sudanese who entered its territory illegally, and they were transported through the Arqin border crossing between the two countries.

These Sudanese had infiltrated Egypt through smuggling corridors, taking advantage of mafia networks that transported them under difficult circumstances to the Egyptian border, without legal papers proving their entry into the country through legal means.

The Egyptian authorities reported that the deported Sudanese were transported by 10 buses, including dozens of families, including many children and the elderly.

Two days ago, the authorities seized 7 buses loaded with Sudanese as they attempted to enter Egypt illegally on the outskirts of Qena Governorate in Upper Egypt.

The attack occurred on Saturday after a similar attack three days ago, in which two Ethiopian policemen were killed and a number of refugees, including a child, were injured.

The Sudanese Foreign Ministry accused the international community of failing to provide aid to Sudanese refugees in Chad, who have been suffering from a three-month hiatus in humanitarian aid.

The ministry indicated in a statement on Saturday that some international bodies are focusing in a “suspicious” manner on opening the Adre border crossing between Chad and West Darfur State and are ignoring the suffering of Sudanese refugees in those areas.

This criticism comes at a time when the UAE and some UN agencies are calling for the opening of the aforementioned crossing to transport aid, but the Sudanese authorities refuse to open the crossing, accusing the Rapid Support Forces of using it to transport military equipment.
