The New York Times: Πτήση από το Σουδάν

Flight from Sudan
As Sudan hurtles toward civil war, more than 52,500 Sudanese and nearly 4,000 foreigners have crossed the border into Egypt since the outbreak of the fighting, according to Egyptian officials. Many are people of means who spent the last of their cash on the journey, heading for a country that shares a common language and deep ties with Sudan.
They are the vanguard of what Egyptian and U.N. officials fear will be a growing rush of Sudanese refugees into their northern neighbor, as one cease-fire after another in Sudan is violated by the warring factions. Officials expect busloads of poorer refugees to follow.
The Egyptian government has relaxed border controls for Sudanese arrivals and has sent extra trains and buses to Aswan, the closest major city to the border, to help the refugees move farther into Egypt. People there have been welcoming the refugees, finding them apartments and bringing them food.
A deadly journey: The Egyptian Red Crescent is providing humanitarian aid and medical care on the Egyptian side of the border. But on the other side, where temperatures routinely top 100 degrees Fahrenheit, several people have died while waiting in the desert, according to local witnesses.
