17/6/2024: Sudan Tribune - Sudan conflict forces more than 40,000 people into Libya

Sudan Tribune report that over 40,000 Sudanese refugees and asylum-seekers have arrived in Libya following outbreak of conflict in Sudan, the United Nations said.

A statement from the UN World Food Programme (WFP) also warned of an impending humanitarian disaster if aid is not urgently provided to those in need.

The estimated total number of Sudanese refugees in Libya’s Kufra city is 45,000.

Authorities, however, say it is difficult to know the exact number of these displaced people due to the continuing waves of people coming from war-torn Sudan.
