According to a new report by the International Organization for Migration, 20,000 people, half of them children, are forced to flee their homes in Sudan each day. And yet, WHO spokesperson Lindmeier said,"This is only the tip of the iceberg" of an increasingly desperate situation. "The situation in Sudan was already very fragile before the war, and it has now become catastrophic," said Ozan Agbas, Medecins Sans Frontieres Emergency Operations Manager for Sudan.
