More people are fleeing Sudan into neighboring Chad, Egypt, Ethiopia, and South Sudan, amid a three-day truce agreed upon between the army and a rival paramilitary force
UNHCR officials told a Geneva briefing they are poised for 270,000 people to flee over Sudan's borders - a preliminary planning figure that includes Sudanese refugees crossing into South Sudan and Chad as well as South Sudanese returning home.
Sudan hosts more than 1 million refugees, many of whom have fled conflicts in neighbouring countries such as South Sudan. In addition, 3.7 million of its own people are internally displaced, U.N. data shows. "We know the returns will take place first. They are mostly from Khartoum and the refugee flows are likely to be afterwards," she said. South Sudan officials sayUNHCR said it expected many to return to parts of South Sudan that are "extremely fragile as a result of conflict, climate change or food insecurity - or a combination of all three".
