The United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) has raised concerns about the increasing number of Sudanese refugees fleeing to Europe, citing deteriorating humanitarian conditions and dwindling aid support in the region. In the first quarter of 2025, over 1,000 Sudanese refugees have either reached or attempted to reach Europe.
*Key Statistics:*
- *484* Sudanese refugees arrived in Europe during January and February, a *38% increase* compared to the same period last year.
- *937* others were intercepted or rescued at sea and returned to Libya, more than double the number recorded in early 2024.
- *12 million* people have been displaced by the two-year war in Sudan, with millions more in neighboring countries like Egypt and Chad.¹ ²
*Humanitarian Crisis:*
The conflict between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has led to one of the world's most devastating humanitarian crises. The situation is further complicated by:
- *Food insecurity*: 17.7 million people face acute hunger, with 4.9 million on the brink of famine.
- *Displacement*: Over 8.6 million people have fled their homes, with 1.8 million seeking refuge in neighboring countries.
- *Disease outbreaks*: Over 11,000 suspected cholera cases and 305 deaths have been reported.
*Global Response:*
The UNHCR and other aid agencies are calling for urgent global intervention to prevent further loss of life and alleviate the worsening refugee crisis. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) reports record-high migrant deaths, with the Mediterranean Sea route being one of the deadliest crossings.
