Navigational data, analyzed by Sanad News Monitoring and Verification Agency in Al Jazeera network, revealed a sharp decrease in the number of arrivals of ships loaded with fuel to Sudan, and Sanad monitored large-scale evacuation operations from Sudan through 3 routes.

Sudan is witnessing great economic and humanitarian turmoil, especially after the recent escalation of security and continuous armed clashes since last April.

These clashes have left many dead and injured, at a time of heightened concerns about fuel shortages, worsening economic conditions, and increasing migration abroad.

Navigational data, analyzed by Sanad, revealed a sharp drop in the number of ships carrying fuel arriving in Sudan.

Only one ship arrived at all Sudanese ports in May on the 30th, while no gas, petroleum products or crude oil ships arrived. This is the lowest level of arrival of fuel vessels since the beginning of this year, which threatens to worsen the crisis in Sudan.

This was also confirmed by private data obtained by Sanad Agency from Vortexa, which specializes in tracking oil shipments, which showed that no fuel shipments arrived in Sudan from the beginning of May until the 27th of the same month, despite the continuation of crude oil exports.

The escalation of events and the worsening humanitarian and economic situation in Sudan have affected the significant increase in the number of refugees to neighboring countries.


The Three Tracks

At the same time, Sanad News Monitoring and Verification Agency in Al Jazeera network monitored large-scale evacuation operations from Sudan through 3 routes "by land, air, and sea."

The land, sea and air ports are the last stop for those fleeing the hell of war in Sudan, and the last step before reaching neighboring countries. Sanad obtained satellite images and navigational data, confirming the flight of a large number of people, as a result of the worsening security situation in the country.

Those fleeing Khartoum to Port Sudan spend more than 12 hours on an arduous road journey.

Across the sea

A large number of people resorted to leaving Sudan by sea, as navigational data of ships sailing from the ports of Suakin and Port Sudan showed that more than 50 ships transported individuals sailed from 17 April to the end of May, as a result of ongoing evacuations through Sudanese ports.

According to statistics, most travelers headed to Saudi Arabia, more than doubling the average monthly trips to the Kingdom since the beginning of the year.

Air Route

Meanwhile, several countries have worked to evacuate their nationals from Sudan, since the escalation of the security situation and the intensification of armed battles last April, where several flights were allocated to evacuate citizens of several countries from Sudan.

Sanad obtained exclusive navigational data for aircraft from the Radar Box platform, confirming the start of evacuation flights through Port Sudan Airport on April 23, where 80 flights took off until May 25, including 18 flights to Jordan, which is at the forefront of the countries reached by evacuation flights, followed by Kuwait and Qatar, where more than half of the flights were by military aircraft.

The first evacuation flights began on April 23 to the Jordanian capital, Amman, while 17 flights took off during the same month, and evacuation flights reached their maximum rate on May 13 and 14.


Road

In addition to the "air and sea" routes through the city of Port Sudan, evacuations continued "by land" at Sudan's border crossings with neighboring countries "Egypt, Chad, Ethiopia and South Sudan".

Those fleeing Sudan to Egypt are flowing through the Ashkit "Qastal" and Arqin border crossings, and satellite images obtained by Sanad Agency taken on April 28 showed a large number of buses piling up at the crossing, at a distance of more than one kilometer.

According to the United Nations, the number of those fleeing to Egypt reached 170,5500 as of the end of May, including more than <>,<> non-Sudanese.

The Egyptian authorities have suspended the handling of temporary travel documents for Sudanese at their crossings since May 25, a visa that Egypt has allowed its holders to cross into its territory, since the beginning of the armed battles in mid-April, which caused congestion and overcrowding of travelers at border crossings.

Satellite images taken on May 90 of the Judah crossing leading to South Sudan show congestion in the area, where the number of displaced people approached <>,<> until the end of May.

Most of them are South Sudanese, who had fled to Sudan due to unrest in their areas and have now been forced to return again, along with 2643,<> non-Sudanese.

Satellite imagery (taken on May 22) through the Sudanese "Al-Qalabat" crossing leading to Ethiopia also revealed a large crowd of people and cars on both sides of the crossing, through which nearly 7,5800 people moved, including more than <>,<> non-Sudanese.

According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, the number of displaced Sudanese and non-Sudanese displaced to safe areas inside the country exceeded one million and 200 thousand people, since the outbreak of clashes until the end of last May, while the number of those fleeing outside Sudan exceeded 378 thousand, of whom about 170 thousand arrived in Egypt, and the Republic of Chad received 100 thousand people.
