UNOCHA figures showed that the arrivals are from 60 nationalities, and the largest groups are Ethiopians, Sudanese and Turkish.
The UNOCHA earlier announced that shelter and reception areas were under construction for those who needed relocation, and further medical support would be provided.
Sudan has witnessed deadly armed clashes between the Sudanese Army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces in the capital city of Khartoum and other areas since April 15, with the two sides accusing each other of initiating the conflict.
