More than two million Sudanese have sought refuge abroad, mostly in Chad, South Sudan and Egypt, the organization’s spokesman, Mohamed Ali Abu Najila, said in a statement.
The number of displaced people inside Sudan has exceeded 10 million, he said.
UN and international calls to avert a humanitarian catastrophe that could push millions into starvation due to food shortages have increased, as fighting has spread to 12 of the country’s 18 states.
