Putting Our Work into Focus

Flóttamannastofnun SÞ á meira en 250þúsund ljósmyndir, margar hverjar nokkura áratuga gamlar. Ljósmyndasafn stofnunarinnar í Genf hýsir heimsins stærsta safn af flóttamannatengdum ljósmyndum.  Þessar myndir ná yfir næstum öll stórfelld umrót síðustu 60 ára. Þessar myndir sýna líf flóttamanna, hælisleitenda, fólks á vergangi innan eigin landamæra og ríkisfangslausra um allan heim, ásamt myndum af þúsundum starfsmanna SÞ sem hafa hjálpað þeim.

Fjölmiðlar mega nota myndir okkar gjaldfrjálst.

Svo þið fáið betri hugmynd um daglega baráttu flóttamanna fyrir lífi sínu, ásamt góðfúslegu starfi Flóttamannastofnunar SÞ á vettvangi, sendum við myndbandateymi um allan heim til að skrásetja starfsemi okkar. Myndböndin undirstrika einnig þau erfiðu viðfangsefni sem starfsfólk Flóttamannastofnunar SÞ tekst á við á vettvangi.  Oft starfar fólkið við framvarðarlínu þar sem flóttamenn þurfa mest á vernd að halda.

Ef þú þarfnast ljósmynda eða myndbanda, vinsamlegast hafið samband, netfang: swest@unchr.org, eða í síma +46-(0)8-457 4880.

Tunisia’s tented transit Camp

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.
