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.

The number of Syrians who have returned home since last December has reached 500,000, many for the first time in 14 years. But we must ensure that people who return can stay and thrive: that is also why the lifting of sanctions is crucial, as reconstruction is urgently needed!

In Kakuma refugee camp, sport can be life-changing. It helps refugees connect and build new relationships after the trauma and uncertainty of displacement. UNHCR supports sports programs which help refugees heal, build confidence and regain a sense of community.

ā€œSouth Sudan cannot afford yet another crisis." - UNHCR's Mamadou Dian Balde More than 1 million people have fled the ongoing war in Sudan to South Sudan, while millions continue to recover from years of conflict and crisis. unhcr.org/news/press-rel…

Thinking of United Nations colleagues who lost their lives in yet another attack in Sudan. Four million people have now fled Sudan in search of safety in other countries. This is a tragic example of what they're running from. My heart breaks for the people affected by this senseless war.

Best wishes to Muslims worldwide as they observe #EidAlAdha, remembering that millions — caught in war, trapped in exile or living in hardship, from Gaza to Sudan, from Bangladesh to Afghanistan and many other places — will not be able to celebrate as they would wish and deserve.
