UNHCR: Escalating violence in Sudan’s El Fasher forces thousands to flee
UNHCR helps to save lives and build better futures for the millions of people forced to flee their homes.
UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency works to ensure that everybody has the right to seek asylum and find safe refuge, having fled violence, persecution or war at home.
Since 1950, we have faced multiple crises on multiple continents, and provided vital protection and assistance to refugees, asylum-seekers, internally displaced and stateless people, many of whom have nobody left to turn to.
We help to save lives and build better futures for millions forced from home.

As temperatures plummet around the world, so is global humanitarian funding making this winter even more treacherous for refugees.
Families are returning to Syria to find their homes reduced to rubble, while others in Jordan and Lebanon live in poor housing with no heating.
