Agencies – Sudan Events\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n About 300 Sudanese refugees arrive in Egypt daily, a United Nations official said, adding that 45% of the refugees are Sudanese.<\/p>\n \u201cIn the latest crisis in Sudan, we received above 300,000 families. The Egyptian Red Crescent was there from the first early moments, helping people to cross the border safely and transporting them to the different locations in Egypt,\u201d Elena Panova, UN Resident Coordinator in Egypt said during the interview.<\/p>\n \u201cSudanese in Egypt are not clustered into camps, but they live throughout the country,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n Panova said the UN Emergency Relief Coordinator, Martin Griffiths, allocated special funds from the Central Emergency Relief Fund (CERF) to enable them scale up the response quickly after the first refugees started arriving in Egypt.<\/p>\n \u201cOn the route the migrants [are traveling], we installed water and sanitation facilities, mainly by UNICEF, simple things like toilets. WFP provided food, cash assistance to 270,000 of the new arrivals,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n \u201cWe also work closely with the Government to understand what the needs are for more long-term resilient support when it comes to livelihoods and specifically talking about education and health services,\u201d stressed Panova.<\/p>\n According to the official, service centres have been established at entry points.<\/p>\n \u201cWe provide humanitarian relief services, hygiene kits, food and essential supplies, issue papers for those without identification, and psychosocial support for children and women,\u201d she remarked.<\/p>\n A 10-month war in Sudan between its armed forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has devastated the country\u2019s infrastructure, prompted warnings of famine and displaced millions of people inside and outside the country.<\/p>\n Last week, UN appealed to countries not to forget the civilians caught up in the war in Sudan, calling for $4.1bn to meet their humanitarian needs and support those who have fled to neighbouring countries.<\/p>\n Half of Sudan\u2019s population or 25 million people, need humanitarian assistance and protection, while more than 1.5 million people have fled to the Central African Republic, Chad, Egypt, Ethiopia and South Sudan, according to the UN.<\/p>\n On the ground, Activists in Sudan have accused the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) of killing at least six civilians and injuring ten others in two separate attacks on a village in Al-Jazirah state.<\/p>\n These incidents reportedly occurred during a period of nationwide communication and internet outages.<\/p>\n According to the Resistance Committees of Al-Hasahisa, located north of the state capital Wad Madani, the RSF targeted the village of Wad Al-Balila with the intent to loot and steal. When confronted by villagers, the RSF allegedly killed two civilians on Saturday and returned the following day, killing four more and wounding over ten others.<\/p>\n The injured were reportedly transported to Al-Manaqil in West Gezira state for medical treatment.<\/p>\n The Resistance Committees further claim that women and children were forced to flee the village after experiencing two days of violence and intimidation.<\/p>\n Sudan has been plagued by widespread communication and internet disruptions since mid-December 2023, with accusations directed towards the RSF for halting telecommunication services in Khartoum.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Agencies – Sudan Events\u00a0 About 300 Sudanese refugees arrive in Egypt daily, a United Nations official said, adding that 45% of the refugees are Sudanese. \u201cIn the latest crisis in Sudan, we received above 300,000 families.
