Help Refugees from Sudan

Intense fighting has been going on for 1 full year in Sudan. Reports of civilians being killed and injured in multiple parts of the country are common. People are being forced to flee amid the clashes and are arriving in neighbouring countries in desperate need of help.

UNHCR and partners estimate that more 8,5 million people, mostly women and children, are fleeing their homes in search of safety in and around Sudan.

In Chad, UNHCR’s emergency teams are on the ground meeting newly arrived refugees and providing life-saving support.  
 

In South Sudan, UNHCR teams, with partners, are at border crossing points to monitor new arrivals – mainly South Sudanese refugees who are returning – and provide help.   

UNHCR is working closely with governments and partners in all countries neighbouring Sudan to respond to those who have arrived and prepare for more new arrivals.   

Hundreds of thousands of people need to be protected. They need shelter, safety, and basic supplies.   

We need your help to scale up our response.  

Donate today.  

All of Sudan’s neighbouring countries impacted by this new emergency already have large existing refugee and displaced populations. Urgent support is needed to ensure life-saving assistance is provided to those fleeing hostilities.

Why is it important that you help refugees?

Never before in history have there been so many people forced to flee war, violence or persecution. More than 100 million men, women and children are desperately in need of a safer future. They are people just like you and me. UNHCR is helping them, but we cannot do this alone.

In order to continue to provide life-saving aid, we are in urgent need of more financial support. Lack of funding means that children are going without food, sick people are not receiving adequate care, and schools are not being built. 

Your contribution to the work of UNHCR is needed more than ever.

Why is a monthly donation better for refugees?

Thanks to a monthly contribution, refugees receive our help 

  • Faster: More predictable income allows us to respond immediately when a crisis occurs, ensuring that UNHCR is always the first to come to the aid of refugees in need. 

  • In a more durable manner: Thanks to monthly donations, UNHCR can go beyond short-term emergency aid, allowing us to plan ahead and to find durable solutions for and with refugees.  

  • In a more efficient way: Long-term, predictable income allows UNHCR to do what it does best, and that’s saving lives, protecting fundamental rights and building better futures. It lowers administrative costs and allows us to spend less time and energy on raising funds. 

Why is a monthly donation better for you?

With a monthly contribution, you can 

  • Make a bigger difference: A monthly contribution helps save lives in the short term but also helps build better futures in the long run.

  • Have full control: You can very easily increase, decrease or cancel your monthly donation by emailing us at [email protected].

  • Save time: From the moment you create your monthly donation, your contribution will automatically be deducted through a secured transfer and you will be making a real difference every month.

  • Be very proud: You are there for people forced to flee when they need you most.
