“The level of destruction that I have just witnessed in Khartoum explains to you why we have over 4 million people who have been forced to flee this country and go into neighbouring countries.” ~ UNHCR’s @mamadou_dbalde in Sudan

Over 1.3 million displaced Sudanese are returning home—despite ongoing conflict. Many are heading back to Khartoum, Sennar and Al Jazirah, where two years of war have left devastation in their wake.

With support from the #SudanHumanitarianFund, UNHCR distributed core relief items to 58,000+ people in need across Khartoum, Blue Nile, White Nile, River Nile & Northern States. This vital support enabled us to respond swiftly to displacement, conflict & flooding in #Sudan🇸🇩.

People from Sudan need peace. People from Sudan need peace. People from Sudan need peace. #KeepEyesOnSudan #Sudan🇸🇩 #Peace🕊️

📍 Blue Nile State 🇸🇩 Thousands of Sudanese refugee returnees live in makeshift shelters, exposed to harsh weather & lacking basics. #UNHCR delivered relief kits & family tents to 3,000+ families, reaching 40,000 people. Every item brings safety. Every tent restores dignity.

Heartbreaking to see the immense destruction in #Khartoum today, a city that has generously welcomed thousands of refugees. Huge work ahead to rebuild but authorities & partners are doing their very best to support. Our commitment to stay & support as much as we can stands.

In Khartoum, #UNHCR & Sudan’s Commission for Refugees held a refugee protection workshop with 40+ representatives from gov’t, police, judiciary & partners. Key focus: rights, responsibilities & non-refoulement, strengthening 🇸🇩#Sudan’s refugee protection framework.

Our Regional Director @mamadou_dbalde arrived in #Sudan🇸🇩 today for his mission (13–20 July). In Port Sudan, he met senior officials & visited displaced families as 12M+people are uprooted by war. The call is urgent: Sudan needs global solidarity & attention now more than ever.

🇫🇷 On France’s National Day, we thank the people and government of France for standing with refugees and displaced families in #Sudan🇸🇩. Your support and solidarity help us protect and assist those uprooted by conflict. Merci Beaucoup! #BastilleDay #KeepEyesOnSudan

Just listen.

🇸🇩 In Northern State, vulnerable Sudanese returnees from Egypt are receiving life-saving cash💸 assistance. 🙏to #SudanHumanitarianFund, UNHCR has so far reached close to 9K vulnerable returnees with cash support. Cash ensures dignity, choice, & fast access to meet urgent needs.

Meet Bashir: poet, songwriter & community activist who rebuilt his life in the UK after fleeing Sudan. Though he lost his home & business, he never lost his voice. Through music, he healed- and now helps others do the same. 🔗 bit.ly/3HSX5Ys #RefugeeWeek #FragmentsOfHope

“We fled and suffered as refugees. The Sudanese welcomed us. Now, we welcome them with the little we have.” In Girba camp, Eritrean refugees are opening their homes and hearts to Sudanese families displaced by conflict. 🎥 This is what solidarity looks like. #WorldRefugeeDay ⬇️

This #WorldRefugeeDay, I was joined by the #Sudan Commission for Refugees to listen to refugees share their challenges, hopes, and aspirations. Their voices guide how UNHCR can better respond to their needs and support their journey toward safety and dignity.

On #WorldRefugeeDay, the UN is honouring the stories of refugees around the world. Of the 122 million people globally displaced by persecution, violence or human rights violations, 42.7 million are refugees who have fled across borders, @Refugees says. news.un.org/en/story/2025/…
