today14 August, 2024

Background

The International Organization for Migration has called on countries to significantly increase their donations to address Sudan’s severe displacement crisis. Reuters says, Mohamed Refaat, head of the IOM’s Sudan mission, cautioned that the organization has only secured 21% of the required funding. Without additional support, the ongoing conflict, combined with widespread hunger, disease, and floods, could result in the loss of tens of thousands of lives.
