Sudan conflict threatens displacement of 800,000 people, warns UN.

The United Nations has warned that the ongoing conflict in Sudan could force 800,000 people to flee the country, as battles between rival military factions persist in the capital despite a supposed ceasefire. The crisis has unleashed a humanitarian disaster, damaged swathes of Khartoum, risked drawing in regional powers and reignited conflict in the Darfur region. The UN's refugee agency is planning for an exodus of 815,000 people including 580,000 Sudanese as well as foreign refugees now living in the country. At least 528 people have been killed and 4,599 wounded, and foreign governments have pulled out their citizens over the past week in air, sea and land operations.
