“I saw the damage, the loss. The buildings being destroyed, the
infrastructure being completely damaged in that area. And it was
sad and heartbreaking.”

Waihiga Mwaura speaks to SungAh Lee, from the International
Organisation for Migration (IOM) about the war in Sudan which has
entered its fourth year and has led to one of the worst
humanitarian crisis and biggest displacements of people.

SungAh Lee recently travelled to Sudan to assess the situation on
the ground. She tells us how it felt to return to parts of the
country she had spent time in as a child. She explains how
current conflicts are changing migration patterns and what impact
cuts to government aid budgets are having on people effected by
war.
