More than 6,000 people have entered Ethiopia from the violent fighting in neighbouring Sudan, according to local officials. The International Organization for Migration estimates that more than 334,000 people have been displaced inside Sudan since the conflict erupted more than two weeks ago. The UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) estimates that more than 100,000 refugees have fled to neighbouring countries. Most are Sudanese refugees arriving in Chad and Egypt and refugees from South Sudan returning to their homes, the UNHCR said. Brutal fighting erupted in the Sudanese capital of Khartoum on April 15 and swiftly escalated in different parts of the country.
