With only a third of required funds received, UNHCR has been forced to scale back.

Without urgent international support, families devastated by conflict and climate shocks will be left without the protection, water and dignity they deserve. www.unhcr.org/news/briefin...

UNHCR is prioritizing life-saving aid for 150,000 people:

➡️ Emergency cash and shelter support
➡️ Plastic sheeting for damaged homes
➡️ Water pumps and dykes to drain floodwaters

But resources are perilously low.

South Sudan is facing multiple crises.

Deadly floods have already displaced over 100,000 people—while renewed conflict leaves fragile communities exposed and aid stretched thin.

🚨 Over 165,000 people have fled conflict in South Sudan in the past three months.

As tensions rise, families are being uprooted again—both within the country and across borders. The humanitarian situation is worsening fast.

Two years of war in Sudan.
1 in 3 Sudanese displaced.
Every day, families flee war, hunger & violence.
Hope alone can’t build schools.
Solidarity can’t fund clinics.
We can't let this become a forgotten crisis.

Two years of war in Sudan.

Millions displaced. Futures lost.

Our colleague UNHCR’s Omer met Sudanese refugees in Chad.

He carries their message: “Save Sudan.”

It’s time the world listened.

Children out of school.
Clinics empty.
Still underfunded. Still underreported.

💔 War has torn Sudan apart, forcing families like Mahamoud’s to flee.

Now in South Sudan, UNHCR’s support is helping him rebuild. With shelter, essentials and income from a small shop, he’s working toward independence as his children pursue their education.
