Thousands of Displaced People Living in the Open in Kordofan as Humanitarian Organizations Urged to Intervene

The government of West Kordofan State reported that more than 75,000 displaced people fled the city of An-Nuhud following its takeover by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF)—marking one of the largest waves of displacement in the state since the outbreak of war.

Ibrahim Yousif Abdelrahman, the Secretary-General of the West Kordofan Government, stated that most of the displaced have moved to villages surrounding An-Nuhud, facing tragic humanitarian conditions.

Meanwhile, more than 6,000 families have arrived in El-Obeid, the capital of North Kordofan State.

Local authorities in El-Obeid have issued urgent appeals to humanitarian organizations to intervene and provide essential aid, stressing that the displaced are living in the open without adequate medical or relief services.
