At the crossroads of Africa and Europe, Tunisia is exposed to complex movement patterns involving refugees and migrants along the central Mediterranean route.

7, 812 refugees and asylum seekers* are registered with UNHCR, most from countries affected by armed conflict and widespread violence.

In 2025, the Regional RRP is designed to target the needs of 2.53 million refugees and 1.84 million members of the host community in the five main asylum countries, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Kenya, Sudan, and Uganda.

Conflict, food insecurity, disease outbreaks and seasonal flooding continued to exacerbate humanitarian needs across South Sudan in July.

UNHCR has declared an internal Level 2 emergency for Ethiopia and Sudan due to the escalating crisis in South Sudan, which will remain in force for six months until November 2025.
