Refugees From Sudan Face Dire Conditions At Egypt's Argeen Crossing Radiodabanga: Sudan
, refugees must go through both the Sudanese and Egyptian border control checkpoints, a process that can take more than 24 hours. After leaving the Sudanese side, refugees traverse a long stretch of road known as the 'neutral zone', which can take another 24 hours.
Once refugees arrive at the Egyptian side of the border, they say they are met with chaos and confusion. Reports indicate that the processing of refugees is slow and disorganised, with little food or water available. Many women and children are left sitting on buses with no air conditioning or basic amenities.
The cost of a bus ticket to the border has increased dramatically in recent days, despite the commitment of some bus companies - in Northern state for example - to keep the old prices fixed.
