Anadolu Agency cited the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in reporting that more than 2,500 people had been displaced in North Darfur amid worsening insecurity in Sudan.
The IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix Snapshot 8, covering July 2026, said heavy rains and flooding displaced 115 people from 23 households in Tandik village, Ar Rashad locality, South Kordofan.
Anadolu Agency also reported a separate IOM estimate of 1,150 people displaced from four villages in North Darfur’s Um Baru locality between Oct. 29 and 31. The villages were Muzbat, Oreri, Tari and Umm Haraz. Anadolu said IOM characterized security in the area as dangerous and unstable.
The 1,150-person estimate followed an IOM count of 895 people displaced from three Um Baru villages on Oct. 24, according to Anadolu. EconoTimes previously covered the 1,150-person estimate from four North Darfur villages.
