Since 20 October 2024, DTM monitored an escalation in clashes between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and Rapid Support Forces (RSF) across multiple localities in Aj Jazirah state. The Focused Flash Alert provides a numeric breakdown of displacement due the recent escalations in Aj Jazirah state from 20 to 30 October 2024.
All figures should be understood as preliminary estimates, pending further verification.
- Reported clashes displaced an estimated 135,405 individuals (27,081 households) between 20 and 30 October 2024.
- More than half (57%) of IDPs were displaced to localities in Gedaref state, including Al Butanah and Madeinat Al Gedaref localities.
- Among the individuals displaced, many were already displaced prior to the escalation and therefore experienced secondary displacement.
DTM Sudan releases Early Warning Flash Alerts to provide immediate updates on specific incidents or armed clashes that spurred displacement. Early Warning Flash Alerts are distributed via the DTM Sudan mailing list. For more granular information on displacement and mobility, see Sudan Mobility Update (10).
