STORYLINE:
Sudanese families, surrounded by luggage are waiting outside Aswan station for the train to Cairo, the next leg in their arduous journey escaping violence that has torn apart their country and overturned their lives.
Aswan, the Egyptian city closest to the border with Sudan, has become a way station for tens of thousands of Sudanese fleeing fighting between Sudan’s military and rival paramilitary force.
The displaced arrive exhausted after days on the chaotic roads.
Now, they must figure out how to navigate a future that is suddenly uncertain, with no idea when they will be able to return home.
More than 76,000 Sudanese and over 5,000 other nationals have crossed into Egypt since the fighting began, according to the Egyptian government.
The U.N. refugee agency says it expects the number to reach 350,000.
The influx has slowed in the past week, but Sudanese refugees still keep coming as fighting continues.
Sudan's army and the rival group, known as the Rapid Support Forces, or RSF, are holding negotiations in the Saudi port city of Jeddah.
But those who fled don’t know when it will be safe to return, scarred after spending days trapped in their homes amid constant gunfire, explosions and the sound of warplanes.
Many of those arriving in Egypt have, at least for now, money for housing or onward travel to Europe or the Gulf states.
It's a harder struggle for thousands of poorer Sudanese coming across the border.
