GENEVA (Reuters) - The U.N. refugee agency (UNHCR) is making plans for hundreds of thousands of people spilling over Sudan's borders to escape violence, officials said on Tuesday, many of them forced to places they have already fled from.
UNHCR officials told a Geneva briefing they are poised for 270,000 people to flee over Sudan's borders - a preliminary planning figure that includes Sudanese refugees crossing into South Sudan and Chad as well as South Sudanese returning home.
