Returning to Dadaab felt deeply personal.
I served here years ago and returned this week as @UNHCR_Kenya Representative.
Ahead of World Refugee Day, Dadaab reminds us that everyone has the right to seek safety.
Safety must be matched by dignity, inclusion and opportunity.
Deeply concerned by the suffering of displaced Sudanese. UNHCR continues to advocate for protection of civilians and urgent humanitarian access. The violence must stop.
Every kick, every cheer, every clap of support echoed the strength and spirit of the community.
This is the power of sports to bring everyone together. 🏆
Congratulations to the champions and to everyone who competed with passion and pride!
Today, UNHCR & @UNDP_Sudan signed the Joint Action Plan 2026–2028 to deliver protection, inclusion & durable solutions for displaced populations and host communities in #Sudan. With around 12M displaced since the conflict began, engagement from international partners will be key.
Honoured to represent UNHCR Sudan at the launch of a vital partnership with UNDP in Sudan. We are united by shared values and a vision for a more inclusive, resilient future for the forcibly displaced including refugees, IDPs, returnees and host communities. #Sudan#UNHCR#UNDP #TogetherForChange
To support most vulnerable refugees and IDPs displaced to Tawilla, North #Darfur, @UNHCRinSudan and partners recently distributed family tents to families, offering much-needed shelter and restoring dignity to those forced to flee again.
#Sudan🇸🇩
We honor the courage, dedication, and sacrifice of humanitarian workers everywhere. Standing in solidarity with my colleagues- we risk lives to save others and bring hope where it’s needed most.
Briefing the 93rd Standing Committee on UNHCR’s commitment to IDPs. I thank all member-states for their support🙏. UNHCR’s IDP policy supports government led, inter-agency anchored, protection centered action focusing on solutions underpinned by reliable data
In White Nile🇸🇩, #UNHCR is distributing cash assistance💶 to displaced families like Amani’s, helping them cover urgent needs, food, medicine & more. It restores dignity, gives families choice & boosts local markets. 370+ families supported; more to be reached in the coming days.
Despite challenging circumstances, including complex logistics, UNHCR continues its swift and dedicated response to the critical internal displacement situation in Sudan. Delivering essential services— such as shelter and cash assistance - are making a tangible difference for internally displaced persons (IDPs) who face immense hardship and uncertainty.
Urgent global support is needed as Congolese refugees share their harrowing stories of survival and resilience. Let's rally together to provide protection and aid. #Refugees#GlobalSolidarity#DRC#HumanitarianAction
On my way to Mekelle, 460km from Semera after a fruitful monitoring field visit to Aysaita refugee camp. Had lunch at DANKALIYA restaurant operated by a refugee association. Economic empowerment, water, education & health are top priorities for both refugees & IDPs. 👌
At #ExCom, it's crucial to amplify the call for enhanced support and solidarity to address the pressing needs of refugees, the internally displaced, and stateless populations. #Solidarity#Refugees#IDPs#Stateless
Distribution of core relief items to displaced Sudanese in #Gedaref, SD🇸🇩
🙏We are grateful to donors for supporting @UNHCRinSudan programmes not only for refugees but also IDPs. More support needed especially with onset of rainy season & influx of new IDPs fleeing #Sennar.
Congratulations to the team involved in the IASC Independent review of the humanitarian response to IDPs. Working with Governments, listening to IDPs, a UN timely joined-up response with protection at the center and solutions as our end goal are much welcomed recommendations.
The MoU signed between @WFP & UNHCR Sudan is historic! Both agencies continue to go beyond, to ensure access to services remains a key priority. Our donors have made this happen! 👏
A welcome visit and a necessity amidst a crises that has continued for several months. Millions continue to suffer inside and outside Sudan! @mamadou_dbalde@FilippoGrandi
