WAD MADANI: The United Nations on Wednesday said nearly three months of war in Sudan have uprooted more than three million people, and called for the warring sides to face"accountability".
Safa Msehli, a spokeswoman for the UN's International Organization for Migration in Geneva, told AFP that more than three million people had fled their homes because of the conflict. "We need the international community's sustained support to provide aid and protection to those affected by the conflict," she said.
