Between last Thursday and Friday, attacks on the villages of Um Baru and Kernoi near Sudan’s western border with Chad displaced more than 7,000 people, said IOM.
A further 3,100 people were displaced from the famine-stricken city of Kadugli in South Kordofan, which has been under siege by paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), for over a year and a half.
Kordofan is witnessing the fiercest fighting between the RSF and the Sudanese army since the RSF’s capture of El-Fashir city and its complete control over the Darfur region of western Sudan.
The conflict has created the world’s largest hunger and displacement crises affecting 12 million people.
