Egypt has become the largest host country for Sudanese refugees fleeing the ongoing conflict. More than 1.2 million Sudanese have sought protection in Egypt since April 2023. Egypt’s capacities are now significantly overstretched. unhcr.org/eg/48939-egypt…

In nearly 600 days, 3 million people have escaped deadly conflict in Sudan, seeking safety in neighboring countries. Every day the conflict continues, thousands remain on the move. The world must act to stop the fighting and prevent more people from fleeing. #KeepEyesOnSudan

The stories I’ve heard from Sudanese refugees in Chad are beyond harrowing. No one, anywhere, should ever endure what they have endured. The world needs to hear their voices. We must #KeepEyesOnSudan.

"They were 180 when they left El Geneina. They were only ten that arrived safely in Chad." @DominiqueHyde of @Refugees shares a harrowing story of Sudanese people trying to reach safety in neighbouring Chad.

The continuing bloodshed in Sudan has created the world's worst civilian protection crisis in decades – and the world is not paying any attention. @Refugees Briefing Note  ⬇️ unhcr.org/news/briefing-…

The number of people who have fled from Sudan since the start of the civil war in April 2023 has now reached 3 million — with many more displaced inside the country. Those fighting for supremacy in Sudan are not only destroying it — they are also emptying it of its own people.

In these challenging times, the world must unite in support of those forced to flee their homes.   Thank you, Canada 🇨🇦, for playing a crucial role in providing safety and dignity for refugees globally.   @JustinTrudeau

Today I met with Sudanese refugees and partners in Cairo. Refugees spoke of challenges they face, their desire for peace in #Sudan, but also of their determination to build a better future. #Egypt and partners are doing what they can, but more support is needed.

We are so proud of you, Nada! Nada is this year’s regional Nansen Award winner for the MENA region, having helped 100s of refugee families in #Egypt in need of shelter, healthcare & basic assistance 🎉🥳

Egypt has long been a hospitable host country, opening its doors to those seeking refuge. The Joint UN Program is a collaborative effort of @Egyptmfa @EUinEgypt & @UNEgypt to strengthen its resilience as a host country, while also ensuring the rights of refugees are upheld.

This isn’t just a crisis response, it’s an investment in Egypt’s & the region’s future. Together, we can build a more inclusive & resilient society, leaving no one behind. @Hanan_Hamdan_ highlighting the value of the First Joint UN Program during her opening speech.
