UNHCR has been working in Egypt since 1954. We provide protection services including all aspects of registration, documentation, refugee status determination and resettlement to persons of concern.
In Egypt, we currently focus our work on the following areas:
- Ensuring that asylum-seekers are able to apply for and gain access to protection;
- Supporting the access of refugees to health and education services, and ensuring that vulnerable refugees and asylum-seekers can meet their basic needs;
- Raising awareness of the plight of refugees, advocating for their rights, and coordinating efforts to support them.
