UNHCR and other humanitarian organizations are trying to support those in need inside Sudan amidst violence and fighting, including displaced people and more than one million refugees — but our efforts will remain limited unless we receive stronger guarantees of safe access. https://t.co/wGKveZgdlG

UNHCR, with governments and partners, is preparing for the possibility that over 800,000 people may flee the fighting in Sudan for neighbouring countries. We hope it doesn’t come to that, but if violence doesn’t stop we will see more people forced to flee Sudan seeking safety.

On #WorkersDay we think of refugees and displaced people for whom work is a path to avoid exclusion, gain skills for when they return home, or (where possible) integrate in host communities. Inclusive labour policies will be a key theme at the next Global Refugee Forum. #May1 https://t.co/mfXNWuIwsj

Sudan hosts over one million refugees from the region. Like all civilians, they are impacted by violence and cut off from humanitarian aid. More than 3000 South Sudanese are now fleeing back daily to their fragile country, where they are helped by government, UNHCR and partners.

UNHCR estimates that more than 50,000 people have now fled Sudan to Chad, Egypt, South Sudan and the Central African Republic — this includes Sudanese nationals and refugees forced to return to their countries by the ongoing fighting. The outflow will grow unless violence stops.

An honour to meet the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Swedish Parliament @Sverigesriksdag and to exchange views on global refugee situations. I thanked them wholeheartedly for Sweden’s support for UNHCR and asked them to uphold their country’s strong humanitarian engagement. https://t.co/ckAPEcnvWJ

Grateful to @SwedishPM Kristersson and to his government for receiving me in Stockholm very warmly. I thanked him for Sweden’s strong support for UNHCR. Sweden’s humanitarian leadership continues to be crucial as forced displacement crises grow around the world. https://t.co/pYPMLKBBAs

If violence in Sudan does not stop, the risk of a major refugee crisis is very high. Thousands are already on the move in search of safety. Read my statement of today 👇🏻 https://t.co/tgLfnVm7n7
