EMERGENCY IN THE SAHEL

One of the fastest growing crises in the world – but one of the most forgotten.

With fighting spilling across multiple countries, more than 4 million people have been forced to flee in the Sahel region, in Burkina Faso, Chad, Mali, and Niger. Women and children are bearing the brunt of the crisis, facing the risk of sexual violence, abuse, exploitation, forced marriage, and trafficking.

Crisis upon crisis

To make matters worse, the region is being hit hard by the climate emergency, with soaring temperatures and a loss of farmland, along with food and water scarcity.

UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency has teams on the ground, helping refugees and internally displaced people across the Sahel. But we need your help to scale up our response.

Your donations could help us to distribute emergency shelter and fund our work protecting women and girls from gender-based violence, while providing psychosocial support to help others recover from trauma.

UNHCR is responding to this deepening crisis, but we cannot do it alone.

Please donate today.
