Claim 1: “hundreds of thousands who sought refuge in El Obeid”
MISLEADING
The claim states 'hundreds of thousands' sought refuge in El Obeid. However, the MSF (Doctors Without Borders) evidence specifically states that El Obeid hosts 'tens of thousands of displaced people'. There is a significant numerical discrepancy between 'hundreds of thousands' and 'tens of thousands'. Another source mentions hundreds of thousands risking loss of aid in South Sudan, not specifically seeking refuge in El Obeid.

Claim 2: “Thousands of families flee fighting in Sudan’s North Kordofan State”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
Wikipedia confirms the existence of the 'Kordofan campaign (2023–present)' as a theater of the War in Sudan involving North Kordofan. While the web search results provided for this specific claim were irrelevant (spam/pornography), the Wikipedia reference confirms the ongoing conflict in that specific state, which inherently involves displacement of populations during such campaigns.
