Fighting between the Army of Sudan and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces erupted on April 15, and has forced over 73,684 people to flee to Egypt, including around 5000 third-country nationals, most of whom are women and children. UNFPA focuses on ensuring the provision of reproductive health services, particularly for women pregnant women who might be at risk given the unfavorable conditions, mental and physical suffering, lack of medication, and other risk factors that women in reproductive age face. UNFPA also works on the prevention, mitigation and response to gender-based violence against women and girls (GBVAWG) among affected populations that might be amplified in humanitarian settings.
