I was in Chad. I saw Sudanese refugees arriving, fleeing violence in Darfur. Unless efforts to bring the parties to the Sudan conflict to the negotiating table become serious, the humanitarian crisis will keep growing — as resources to support the response continue to decline.

At least 32 civilians killed, 100+ injured in today’s tragic Russian attack on Sumy🇺🇦 UNHCR’s partner NGO Proliska is on site, providing psychological 1st aid, emergency shelter materials, blankets & hygiene kits to affected families. This is unacceptable. This must stop.

It’s been an awful, awful weekend. Civilians were killed again in Ukraine, Gaza, Darfur — in open violation of the laws of war. This is now so frequent that the world pays no attention. But if we allow this to continue, our planet will become a very dangerous place — for all.

In Iraq, Syrian refugees like Sirwan need to renew their refugee credentials every two years. This documentation is essential for accessing services and safeguarding their rights. With support from the EU, UNHCR Iraq can support them.

Thanks David Lammy for hosting the London Conference on Sudan — with a welcome focus on a political solution to the war; and substantive humanitarian pledges, which we hope will bring much needed resources to relief efforts inside Sudan and in refugee hosting countries.

Over two years of brutal conflict. Nearly 13 million people forcibly displaced. Unimaginable destruction and loss. Countless gross human rights violations. People in Sudan need peace.

“In the full face of war, there is no hope for survival.” Gaddi’s words echo. This is what too many in Sudan are facing right now. With food shortages, limited medical care and dwindling aid, the situation is dire.

When peace returns, refugees return. There is no refugee crisis. There’s a political crisis – over and over again. We’re calling for peace so refugees can get what they truly want: the chance to return home.

We must do more to give refugees hope. We must do more to give refugees opportunities. Including refugees in our schools, workplaces, health systems + communities is part of how we can do this.

In this season of renewal, our thoughts are with all those who have been forced to flee their homes and have had to rebuild their life. Happy #Easter to all who celebrate.

May you rest in peace, Pope Francis. You stood up and spoke out — relentlessly — for the poor, the persecuted, the victims of war, the refugees, the migrants. May you continue to give us faith and courage in this brutal world. Pope Francis
