The Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) expressed deep concern on Wednesday over the continued displacement crisis in Sudan, with the ongoing conflict driving thousands more refugees into neighbouring countries.
In the first week of October alone, close to 25,000 people fled to eastern Chad, marking the highest weekly influx this year. This follows months of intensifying violence in Darfur, and Chad now hosts over 600,000 Sudanese refugees, which is more than any other country in the region.
