The UN says more than 10 million people in Sudan have now fled their homes as war continues

  • The Associated Press

The U.N. migration agency tells The Associated Press that the number of internally displaced people in Sudan has reached more than 10 million as war drives many from their homes. The total number of refugees and internally displaced means that more than a quarter of Sudan's population of 47 million has fled. More than 2 million people have been driven abroad, mostly to neighboring Chad, South Sudan and Egypt. Sudan's conflict between the military and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces began last year. More than 14,000 people have been killed and the surviving population is near famine.
