"As violence in Sudan continues for a fourth week, nearly 200,000 refugees and returnees have been forced to flee the country, with more crossing borders daily seeking safety," U.N. refugee agency spokeswoman Olga Sarrado told reporters in Geneva.
"Almost 90 percent of refugees are children and women, including many pregnant women," she added.
Sarrado maintained: "the humanitarian response is challenging and costly."
Fighting in Sudan has killed at least 750 people and injured 5,000 others.
Violence started on April 15 in Sudan between SAF which is led by Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and RSF which is led by Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, comomnly known as Hemedti.
