The head of the International Organization for Migration said on Tuesday that over 14-million people had fled their homes in Sudan, either inside the country or over its borders, with some 200 000 people fleeing since last month.
"The 11-million is (people) internally displaced within the country, the 3.1-million are those who have crossed borders. So that's actually over 14-million people who are on the move right now," IOM Director-General Amy Pope told reporters.
She later added that the total figure included some people who were displaced before the civil war began in April 2023.
