<\/b>Since we published the First status report<\/a> In which we covered the developments in the conditions of movement and displacement from Sudan to Egypt for the period from 22 to the evening of April 26, 2023 in view of the ongoing forced displacement movement as a result of the armed conflict, conditions have not changed positively and unfortunately, we continue to witness a humanitarian catastrophe faced by civilians as the armed conflict continues in Sudan.<\/p>\n

Ongoing crowding at the Sudanese border crossings with neighboring countries, and the situation for refugees and asylum seekers in Sudan has deteriorated to a terrible state. There are no services available on the Sudanese side of the crossings, and the conditions, procedures, and requirements for access have not been officially stated. Transit procedures to Egypt are slow on both sides, and only the Egyptian side has media coverage. Coordination between UN agencies in Egypt has just started, and several Egyptian government institutions have started making formal comments. People who are trapped are still being evacuated, and there have been complaints about passports being held in foreign embassies after staff members have left and the doors have been shut.<\/p>\n

Hundreds of thousands of people, including Sudanese and other nationalities stranded inside Sudan, remain in dire need of safe passage, safe shelters, and urgent relief due to the armed conflict and lack of food, water, medicine, shelter, vital facilities, and other necessities. High prices for all services and needs increase this suffering.<\/p>\n

The displaced suffer a terrifying and difficult experience during their displacement within the country and to neighboring countries. There are still problems communicating with their relatives, and the difficulties are exacerbated by the constant interruptions in electricity, communication services and the Internet. Refugees and asylum-seekers need international and global intervention to provide them with relief due to the closure of international organizations’ offices inside Sudan.<\/p>\n

Official information on reliable services and transit conditions to neighboring countries should be made available to all categories of displaced persons. Those on the move require receiving points for asylum requests, as well as an immediate international rescue strategy for those who are stranded and displaced both inside and outside.<\/p>\n
