Sudan displacement doubles to 700,000 in one week: IOM - excerpt:
GENEVA, May 9 (Xinhua) -- The International Organization for Migration (IOM), a United Nations (UN) agency, reported on Tuesday that more than 700,000 people have already been internally displaced by the fighting in Sudan. The number was more than doubled in the past week.
IOM spokesperson Paul Dillon said that "last Tuesday, the figure stood at 340,000. Prior to the fighting, an estimated 3.7 million people had already been internally displaced in Sudan."
He said that the number of internally displaced persons increased in several areas, including the capital, where clashes were continuing. "The IOM has stocks of non-food items in six warehouses around the country, but to date the organization has been unable to deliver to those in need."
