evidence: Ali, uprooted from his home in Omdurman, Khartoum, today lives in a displacement gathering site in Wadi Halfa, a small town nestled on the banks of Lake Nubia in Northern Sudan – a state currently hosting over 402,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs). [...] "After my uncle was killed, I knew I had to leave. I grabbed what I could and boarded the bus. I went from Omdurman, to Shendi, to Dongola and after days finally made it to Wadi Halfa. It was a long journey, and I was extremely sick," Ali recalls. Arriving in Wadi Halfa, Ali felt a mix of relief and uncertainty: unemployed and grappling with a medical condition, Ali faced challenges in securing employment. Multiple chronic illnesses, coupled with two surgeries have left him unable to lift heavy objects, further complicating his job search. On top of it, the ongoing conflict has deprived him of access to essential health-care services and vital medication.
