As a neighboring country to Sudan, Egypt has been keen since the beginning of the conflict to open its borders for those fleeing the conflict, Shoukry said. Egypt has received over 250,000 Sudanese people, representing 60 percent of those who fled the conflict, Shoukry said. This is in addition to 5 million Sudanese people that Egypt has hosting since before the conflict for long decades. Egypt has been keen to provide the Sudanese people fleeing the conflict with basic health and education services, Shoukry noted. Shoukry urged the international community to implement its commitments toward Sudan and provide urgent relief assistance to the Sudanese people.
