The spokesperson for the International Organization for Migration, Paul Dillon, stated today, Tuesday, that the number of displaced individuals inside Sudan has risen from last week to more than 700,000, amid ongoing fighting between the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces. He mentioned during a press conference in Geneva, "It is very difficult now to access money; ATMs are out of order, and the banking system is not functioning, making it also hard to obtain fuel."
The World Health Organization indicated that "more than 600 people have been killed, and over five thousand have been injured since the outbreak of violence between the fighting parties."
### Egyptian Warship Evacuates Hundreds from Sudan
An Egyptian official and Egyptian media reported that "an Egyptian warship participating in the evacuation efforts of those fleeing the conflict in Sudan arrived today at the Egyptian port of Safaga on the Red Sea, coming from the port of Port Sudan, carrying more than 400 individuals, including Egyptians and foreigners."
The official page of the Red Sea Governorate quoted Governor Amr Hanafi stating that "the ship carried 466 people, including 272 Egyptians, 184 Sudanese, five British, three Rwandans, and one American."
Thousands have crossed the land border from Sudan to Egypt since the onset of the conflict between the Rapid Support Forces and the army in mid-April. Egypt has also airlifted hundreds of its stranded citizens.
