At Least 3.5 Million Return to Sudan as Conditions Stabilize, but Crisis Remains Dire: UN
That figure includes more than 721,000 refugees, who returned to Sudan as more regions stabilize, Mamadou Balde, UNHCR Regional Coordinator in Sudan, told a UN briefing.
Key points:
Regions of return include Al-Jazeera and Khartoum states.
Despite returns, Balde called Sudan’s situation the “worst humanitarian crisis” globally.
Over 4.3 million Sudanese refugees remain in neighboring countries, with another 470,000 expected in 2026.
UNHCR and partners are launching a $1.6 billion response plan to provide food and shelter.
