UNFPA Sudan Regional Refugee Response: Situation Report #5: 1-30 September 2023

Close to 6 million people have fled their homes in Sudan as the conflict nears the six-month mark. Over 1.2 million refugees, asylum seekers and returnees1 have crossed borders in search of safety to the Central African Republic (CAR), Chad, Egypt, Ethiopia, and South Sudan.

Sudan’s neighbouring countries were already grappling with their own crises, including internal conflict, hunger and disease outbreaks, and there are severe funding gaps to respond to soaring humanitarian needs.
