The Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that 16,000 people fled Sudan and entered Egypt over the past few days.

He added that the Egyptian efforts continue around the clock to facilitate the reception of citizens fleeing the military clashes in Sudan, to alleviate their suffering and to provide them with the necessary humanitarian assistance.
Since the start of clashes between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on 15 April, thousands of people have headed to the Qastal and Arqin border crossings in search of safety.
