More than 864,000 people fled to Eastern Chad since the Sudan conflict began. The EU responded fast, not just with aid, but €60M in development for jobs, water & agriculture. A real HDP nexus in action. L'UE AU TCHAD 🇪🇺 🔗 developmentactionrefugees.org/whats-new/vide…

War in Sudan is tearing millions of lives apart. UNHCR and partners are on the ground, but the response is dangerously underfunded. Now is the time to support people whose humanitarian needs continue to grow. unh.cr/6448ccc04

War tore their lives apart. Now, they’re rebuilding one basket, one loaf of bread, one sister at a time. Sudanese refugee women, in eastern Chad are turning grief into strength, supporting each other, running businesses and raising their children with hope. #WithRefugees

In Sudan, families from Upper Nile/South Sudan arrive hungry, exhausted, and uncertain. At the reception centre, they find hot meals, health checks, and a place to rest before moving west. Each step forward is made possible by people who care. #SudanCrisis #WithRefugees

If realized, the agreement between the Democratic Rep of Congo and Rwanda can bring peace at last to millions whose lives have been torn for decades by violence, hatred and greed, including refugees and displaced. As foreseen by the agreement, UNHCR stands ready to do its part.

Shelter. Food. Healthcare. Safety. This is what’s at stake. Funding cuts are threatening our ability to protect people forced to flee. The consequences are unfathomable.

No one wakes up hoping to leave everything behind. Families are forced to flee with nothing but hope. Let’s not look away. Let’s stand with refugees. #WithRefugees #ForcedToFlee #SudanCrisis

Flexible funding isn’t a nice-to-have. It's a must-have. It’s what stands between refugees and unmet needs. Our Flexible Funding Report 2024 shows how it enabled UNHCR to respond in emergencies and forgotten crises. Find out more: unhcr.org/media/flexible…

After years of steady rises, forced displacement appears to be stabilizing, but at a record high. ‌ This isn’t a success story. 🚨It’s a warning🚨 ‌ The number of people forced to flee remains unacceptably high, and dwindling support puts millions at further risk. #ForcedToFlee
