UNHCR has been working in Egypt since 1954 after the Government of Egypt and UNHCR signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). Since then, UNHCR has provided protection services including all aspects of registration, documentation, refugee status determination and resettlement to those who are forcibly displaced.
Following the outbreak of armed conflict in Sudan in April 2023, large numbers of civilians have been forced to Egypt and other neighboring countries in search of safety. In response to this emergency, UNHCR has expanded its work with the Government of Egypt and partners to register and assist forcibly displaced people arriving in the country. UNHCR is present in various parts of the country, including Cairo, Alexandria, and other governorates delivering lifesaving assistance to those most in need.
UNHCR also supports refugees and asylum-seekers of more than 60 nationalities, including Syrian, South Sudanese, Eritrean, Ethiopian, Somali, Yemeni, or Iraqi individuals who fled their countries and sought safety in Egypt.
