Families are fleeing intense fighting in Sudan's Kordofan region. The United Nations warned on Wednesday that this movement is creating a surge in humanitarian needs.

The UN update did not give exact numbers. However, it described a rapid increase in needs for basics like food, water, and shelter. Aid groups are struggling to respond as the conflict continues.
