Glad to be in #Tanzania, a host to hundreds of thousands of refugees. Over 11,000 of them have returned to #Burundi this year alone, and are rebuilding their lives. UNHCR, the Government & partners are committed to helping more refugees find durable solutions.

UNHCR welcomes the reopening of the Adre border crossing between #Chad🇹🇩 & #Sudan🇸🇩 by the Sudanese authorities. This will allow us to deliver urgent assistance to the most vulnerable in #Darfur, where conflict, displacement and heavy rains have left millions in desperate need.

Across the East & Horn of Africa, humanitarian colleagues have faced attacks in the line of duty, helping refugees & others displaced, including some who have tragically lost their lives. On #WorldHumanitarianDay , we call for the safety of all aid workers #ActForHumanity

Our call: End conflicts, address root causes of crises, increase aid and development support, pursue more vigorously #SDGs. That would make our work unnecessary. Filippo Grandi #WorldHumanitarianDay

Aid trucks making it into #Darfur from Chad is great news.  We are working together with our partners on ensuring it reaches the most vulnerable who continue to face so much hardship due to the tragic conflict in #Sudan.

Our partnership with Education Cannot Wait and UNICEF in the regional response for #Sudanese refugees is vital. For children who have lost so much in the war, being able to go to school again restores normalcy and hope. Yasmine Sherif Dr. Hanan Hamdan Adele Khodr Eva Kadilli

Encouraging progress across the region on refugee children enrollment in primary school. The devastating impact of war is also clear- #Sudan’s rate fell to 29%.   Refugee inclusion in #education means better protection & greater contribution to peace. unhcr.org/media/unhcr-ed…

17 months on, millions of people are paying the price of Sudan's conflict. Yesterday, UNHCR briefed partners & donors in Geneva on this dire protection crisis, the fastest growing globally. With response efforts only 23% funded, action has never been more urgent. #KeepEyesOnSudan
