Fotografier

UNHCR har mere end 250 000 bilder fra flere årtier. Billedbiblioteket på hovedkontoret i Genève har en af verdens største samlinger af flygtningerelaterede billeder, der dækker næsten alle de store flygtningestrømme de seneste 60 år.

Billederne giver et portræt af livet som flygtning, asylansøger, internt fordreven flygtning og statsløs i alle hjørner af verden. Man får også en opfattelse af det arbejde tusinder FN-ansatte udfører over hele verden for at hjælpe disse mennesker.

Videofilm

For at give et bedre billede af den daglige kamp flygtninge må udkæmpe, ligesom af det arbejde UNHCR laver sender vi videofotografer ud for at dokumentere vores aktiviteter rundt om i verden. Filmene viser også hvilke udfordringer, som UNHCR’s personale møder ude på missioner, ofte tæt på frontlinjerne, hvor flygtninge behøver mest beskyttelse.

Tunisia’s tented transit Camp

A new camp full of UNHCR tents, has sprung up close to Tunisia’s border with Libya to provide shelter to thousands of migrant workers desperate to get hope. The UNHCR-run facility is already full, with 15,000 people from around Africa and Asia who have fled from Libya.

Most of the new arrivals are penniless and have no hope of making it home on their own. Many of the sub-Saharan Africans arriving at the camp say they fled because of threats and abuse, with some being attacked and robbed in their homes as well as at the checkpoints that have sprung up along many roads in Libya. Non-African arrivals also report having their belongings taken at the checkpoints, but say they have not been the victims of racism and threats.

With people continuing to arrive daily, UNHCR and other agencies are bracing themselves for what could be a large-scale humanitarian disaster if the fighting worsens and if large numbers of Libyans try to flee their country.
