The agency said the most significant cross border movements so far have been Sudanese refugees arriving in Chad and Egypt, and South Sudanese refugees in Sudan returning to their home country. The looming rainy season will make it harder to reach Sudan's border areas with aid. More than 400,000 Sudanese refugees are already hosted across 13 camps and among local communities in eastern Chad. UNHCR said an estimated 27,275 people had crossed the southern border into South Sudan. Of these, nearly 21,000 are South Sudanese returnees, nearly 2,700 are refugees from Sudan, with the rest being third-country nationals.
