Note: DTM Sudan Early Warning Flash Alerts are distributed via the DTM Sudan mailing list.  Figures should be treated as preliminary findings only and are subject to change via future verification exercises. Flash alerts report incidents of sudden displacement, and therefore may or may not be indicative of broader displacement dynamics For further information on displacement and mobility across Sudan, see Sudan Mobility Update (8).
