Displacement

Sudan is facing the largest child displacement crisis in the world. The internally displaced people (IDPs) are originally from 12 states, with the majority – about 3.5 million people (54 per cent of all IDPs post-April) – from Khartoum. Most sought refuge in South Darfur most of which saw high levels of violence recently – and other states. As the conflict spread into Aj Jazirah in December, more than half a million people had to flee in a month, many for a second time having previously displaced from Khartoum.
