May 4, 2016 (KHARTOUM) – The United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR), has provided $ 10 million to the government of Sudan in support to the Syrian refugees who fled war in their country to Sudan.

On Wednesday, UNHCR Representative in Sudan, Mohamed Adar, met senior officials at the Ministry of Interior and Sudanese Commission of Refugees. After the meeting he stated he handed over the international support for the over 100,000 Syrian refugees.

Last April, an international team from UNHCR visited Sudan and explored with government officials ways to assist the Syrian refugees in Sudan.

Senior Sudanese officials expect that the number of Syrian refugees may rise as the conflict is escalating in their country.

Last March, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ibrahim Ghandour, briefed an international conference, held in Geneva, for supporting Syrian refugees, on the situation of Syrian refugees in Sudan.

“Sudan is hosting over 2 million refugees form the neighbouring countries and freely provide them with health and education services,” Ghandour told the senior donors meeting in Geneva in March.

“I have discussed with the Sudanese officials mechanisms for supporting Syrian refugees and ways to support refugees living in Sudanese towns,” UNHCR Representative in Sudan, Mohamed Adar told the press in Khartoum, adding that a high level meeting will be held within two days to discuss refugees programme for the rest of the year.

The interior ministry and Sudanese refugees body, on their part, urged UNHCR to increase the assistance extended to refugees from the neighbouring countries and making basic services available in refugee camps.

That's a long way from Syria. But it's a fact that no African country can turn back a refugee.
