The journey from Sudan to Libya is notoriously dangerous. But Tahani braved it all during her escape, joining the nearly 100,000 Sudanese refugees seeking safety from the ongoing war. “Despite it all, this journey was better than staying in Sudan.” 👉

Thousands of Sudanese refugees are crossing into Libya, fleeing unimaginable hardship. UNHCR is providing aid, but the needs are immense. From medical supplies to blankets, we’re doing all we can, but your help is needed.

One year ago, tragedy struck Derna, Libya. Survivors like Asma and her family, who had already fled war in Sudan, found themselves facing yet another disaster. Their strength, along with the support of the Libyan people, remains a beacon of hope.
