More than 10 million people left their homes following the outbreak of war in Sudan in April 2023. According to United Nations statistics, about 460,000 displaced people from Sudan took refuge in Egypt.

The number rises to more than one million in the data of the Supreme Council of the Sudanese Community in Egypt, which states that the number of members of the community reaches 4 million. The war and its horrors have deprived most of the displaced people of integrating with the rituals of the Holy Month.
