Urgent: Refugee families are at risk
Right now, a severe humanitarian funding shortfall is putting millions of displaced families in danger.
Without immediate support, refugee families could lose access to food, shelter, and medical care when they need it most.
Help us continue life-saving aid.
These people have survived the most atrocious violence. They have abandoned everything to seek safety and protection. Instead, they are confronted with extreme hunger and disease. The situation is deteriorating day by day and threatens to take over the entire region, amid widespread indifference.
In Sudan and neighbouring host countries, UNHCR is intervening to help people forced to flee by the war.
- Administration of camps for displaced persons
- Distribution of essential goods (food, drinking water, emergency kits)
- Emergency payments so that families can buy the basics they need to survive
- Vaccination campaigns against polio and cholera
