Renewed insecurity in Sudan's Blue Nile state has displaced an additional 1,770 people, the United Nations' migration agency has reported, as the country's broader humanitarian crisis continues.
According to the International Organization for Migration (IOM), deteriorating security conditions forced 5,525 people to flee villages in the Wad al-Mahi area over a three-day period. The displacement adds to the already large number of people uprooted by conflict across Sudan.
Blue Nile state has seen repeated waves of displacement as fighting and insecurity disrupt communities, forcing residents to abandon their homes in search of safety. The figures reflect the UN agency's ongoing monitoring of population movements in the region.
Sudan has faced a large-scale displacement crisis since conflict erupted in 2023, with millions of people forced from their homes nationwide. Aid organizations have repeatedly said insecurity continues to hamper humanitarian access to affected populations, including those newly displaced from Wad al-Mahi.
