Latest development
Sudan displacement crisis remains among the world’s largest
The UN refugee agency’s headline figures include 10.1 million internally displaced people and more than 3.2 million who fled Sudan.
UNHCR continues to describe Sudan as a massive displacement emergency, saying the war has forced nearly 13 million people to flee their homes.
What we know
The agency’s Sudan emergency page lists 10.1 million internally displaced people and more than 3.2 million people who fled to neighbouring countries.
What needs careful reading
The source labels those headline population figures as updated in December 2025. CAWT therefore treats them as the latest headline values displayed by UNHCR on the emergency page, not as a real-time September 2026 count.
