'Who will make it stop'.
As it marks one year since the start of the war in Sudan, the BBC spoke to Emi Mahmoud, a world champion slam poet and UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador, about her poem 'Sudan Balady,' which reflects on personal losses and the broader despair of the conflict.
On the one-year mark of the conflict in Sudan, Sherif reflects on his journey as an engineer turned entrepreneur.
He struggled to continue working in the field of engineering, but with determination in his heart & a family to support, he opened a pastry shop w/ a taste of home.
After decades in Pakistan, refugee returnee, father-of-4, Naqeeb Ullah, is starting anew in #Afghanistan.
He’s grateful for assistance from UNHCR, with support from @UNCERF.
“This is important help. I hope our lives will be better.”
Today’s Paris conference on Sudan has given visibility to a neglected crisis; reaffirmed the need for a political, not a military solution; and mobilized €2 billion to help those impacted including displaced and refugees. @EmmanuelMacron@steph_sejourne@ABaerbock@JanezLenarcic
Alsora is one of more than 8.6 million people who have fled their homes because of the war in Sudan.
Here, the 80 year old sits in her shelter at the Kurmuk transit centre in northwestern Ethiopia.
A year on, the war in Sudan continues to rage. We must stand #WithRefugees.

1 year of war in Sudan
1 year of shattered lives
1 year of fleeing to safety
1 year of hoping for peace and still counting
UNHCR's @OmerElnaiem shares what's happening in his home country after a year of brutal war and asks the world to #KeepEyesOnSudan.
A year of violence.
A year of displacement.
A year of violations.
A year of war in Sudan.
Take a look at one of the largest and most complex displacement crises in the world in photos by @AlaKheir.

Refugees are returning to South Sudan & life in these Pockets of Hope inspired us today in Torit. With support from @SouthSudanGov & @UN_SouthSudan, potential in this resource rich land is infinite.
Together with @sigriddiana, we saw that brighter futures are possible with peace
REMINDER: Everyone has the right to seek asylum from persecution.
A person’s sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, and sex characteristics do not change this.
4.8 million Afghan refugees
2.5 million host community members
2 neighbouring countries that have hosted millions for decades

UNHCR believes that sport can have a transformational impact on young refugees. For Sudanese refugee Malka Kalo in Kakuma refugee camp, football talent and education could unlock doors for her future 💫
In South Sudan, I saw the difference that @made51_unhcr can make in the lives of refugee artisans.
Bringing products from makers in difficult-to-reach places to buyers worldwide is key.
And we couldn't do it alone! Grateful to have renewed our partnership with RICE (HK) Ltd🤝
1 year of brutal war in Sudan has caused unimaginable destruction and loss and forced millions of people to flee.
The people of Sudan deserve the world’s attention.
Here’s what you need to know to #KeepEyesOnSudan.
The humanitarian needs of Syrian refugees and their hosts in the region have reached an unprecedented level since the onset of the crisis in 2011.
Despite this, funding has reached its lowest level ever. Urgent support is needed.
