Today, on #WorldRefugeeDay, I head to the Argeen crossing point in Northern State, Sudan, to witness refugees returning - bold returns amidst harsh realities.

These refugees are choosing dignity over despair, hope over helplessness.

Let’s match their courage with action. Support sustainable solutions - peace and rehabilitation in Sudan.

The #Sudan war has triggered the world’s largest displacement crisis. 14.3 million people fled the conflict by the end of 2024, an increase of 3.5M in a year. We're responding, but more support & peace are needed now.
Our #GlobalTrends 👇 report has more: https://t.co/AmHmPYQe9h

📍 North Kordofan

Against the odds, we delivered relief kits📦 to 2,400 conflict-affected families in El Rahad & El Obeid.

Tarpaulins, kitchen sets, blankets & more help meet basic needs. 💙

Needs are growing fast. We call for sustained access & urgent funding to reach more.

“There is nothing like #peace. It’s time for the fighting to end.”

UNHCR’s @abutalibjay74 visited #Khartoum🇸🇩, he saw the destruction, heard the trauma & witnessed hope.

People need food, shelter & dignity. #UNHCR is delivering, but gaps are wide & access remains difficult.🎥👇

I am horrified by the deadly attack on a humanitarian convoy from WFP and UNICEF in Al Koma, North Darfur state, on the night of June 2. The convoy was carrying life-saving food, nutritional support, and other essential supplies for children and families. 1/3

[UNHCR Sudan @UNHCRinSudan]

Flexible funding saves lives.💙
In #Sudan 🇸🇩, where needs shift and grow rapidly, flexible funding empowers us to act fast, allocate resources where needed most and stay responsive in emergencies.
🙏 Grateful to our donors 🇩🇪🇨🇭🇫🇷🇱🇻🇨🇦, your flexibility makes this possible.

[Kristine Hambrouck @KMHambrouck]

I am alarmed by the recent wave of attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure in Sudan, which represent a blatant violation of international humanitarian law. Humanitarian personnel and facilities must never be targeted. Those who attack them must be held accountable.

[UNHCR Sudan @UNHCRinSudan]

🎥 From the Joda border, our colleague @nora_ochie78782 shares what she's witnessing as thousands flee from #SouthSudan🇸🇸 into #Sudan🇸🇩.

Since 8 April, 25,400+ have arrived—mainly women & children.

Amid Sudan’s own crisis, we’re responding with assistance & protection.

[Mamadou Dian Balde @mamadou_dbalde]

More than 2yrs into #Sudan’s conflict, solidarity with the million ppl forced to flee their homes is as necessary as ever. ⁦@Refugees⁩ calls on governments to ensure that Sudanese access safety, protection & dignified treatment when they seek refuge https://t.co/fAPTKq284g

[Abubakarr Talib Jalloh @abutalibjay74]

We stand in solidarity with all those who are displaced. Grateful for the governments’ continued support but it’s crucial that the protection environment remains open, safe, and accessible to all who need it.

[UNHCR Eastern and Southern Africa @RefugeesAfrica]

"The worst humanitarian situation, the greatest displacement situation, the worst humanitarian funding. When you bring these three together, you can imagine how difficult that is." @mamadou_dbalde on why we need to step up support for millions impacted by the war in #Sudan.

[UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency @Refugees]

"This is a season of war. This is a time of crisis."

Today, High Commissioner @FilippoGrandi addressed the UN Security Council. This was is his message.

[Abubakarr Talib Jalloh @abutalibjay74]

Today, I had the privilege of delivering an ambulance and vital medical supplies to the #Khartoum State Ministry of Health on behalf of @UNHCRinSudan.

This support will boost lifesaving healthcare services for residents, refugees, returnees and other vulnerable people in Khartoum.

[Abubakarr Talib Jalloh @abutalibjay74]

Cash transfers are no ordinary aid - they’re a lifeline. In displacement crises like Sudan, where millions have lost everything, direct cash support helps families rebuild and make choices. Sustainable returns starts with financial freedom.

With SHF, we are making the difference.

[Kristine Hambrouck @KMHambrouck]

During my visit to River Nile State, I witnessed the extensive displacement from Al Jazirah. The situation is dire and the needs are many. UNHCR is actively responding, but critical gaps remain in food, shelter, NFIs, WASH, health, and Protection services including GBV and MHPSS.

[Susan Namondo Ngongi @SusanNamondo]

Apparently, it's not just good, but also smart to be generous ...

[Axel Bisschop @AxelBisschop]

Remembering all.

[Filippo Grandi @FilippoGrandi]

The war in Sudan has now forced 7 million people to leave their homes.

Seven million refugees and displaced.

And the world remains indifferent.

“Each day the fighting continues, the Sudanese are being robbed of the peace they cherish, the lives they are entitled to, and the future they deserve.”

While circumstances can be demanding, commitment from COR Comm; Mr. Musa Ali Atroon, continues in support of our operations in Blue Nile, UNHCR Damazine was happy to receive his timely visit to strengthen joint activities on ground and to coordinate with state authorities
