The lack of basic necessities, combined with violence and uncertainty, has forced many people to flee their homes.

Two years since the crisis began, nearly 13 million people—one in three Sudanese—have been displaced. This includes 8.6 million people displaced within Sudan and 3.8 million refugees and refugee returnees. Around 50 percent of the forcibly displaced population within the East and Horn of Africa are originally from Sudan.

Egypt is hosting the largest number of Sudanese refugees (1.5 million), followed by Chad (773,662), South Sudan (349,935), Libya (256,000), Uganda (72,125) and Ethiopia (43,159). In South Sudan, most of those arriving are returning nationals (744,412) who had been living in Sudan as refugees.

Without a resolution to the crisis, hundreds of thousands more people will be compelled to flee in search of refuge and basic assistance.
