Over 250,000 Sudanese have fled for dear life after the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) took over the city of Wad Madani located in Aj Jazirah State 136 km southeast of the capital Khartoum.
There has been renewed violence as the existential fight for dominance continues to worsen in Sudan.
According to the International Organisation for Migration (IOM), not less than 250,000 to 300,000 people deserted the Sudanese state which has served as a secure home for thousands who fled from the fighting in Khartoum.

Civilians continue to bear the brunt of the armed fighting. Many lives have been lost, facilities destroyed, people displaced, and health workers overwhelmed with caring for the sick and wounded.
