World Refugee Day: With Sudanese refugees fleeing war for South Sudan
The conflict in Sudan between the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, which broke out on April 15, 2023, has caused the world’s largest humanitarian crisis and the displacement of over 9 million people. More than 650,000 of them have now fled to neighbouring South Sudan. These survivors have escaped atrocities, only to reach one of the world’s poorest countries, where aid workers are struggling to cope. Our regional correspondent Olivia Bizot met with refugees at the Sudan-South Sudan border.
