Egypt Booklet - GRF Progress Review 2025

Egypt has continuously demonstrated its support, offering refuge to those fleeing conflict and persecution. Egypt is home to over one million registered refugees and asylum seekers from several neighboring countries including Sudan, Syria, and South Sudan. In Egypt, the economy had already been impacted by COVID-19 and the war in Ukraine. In addition, the current regional escalations on the southern border with Sudan and on the eastern border with Gaza have further compounded the challenging economic situation. Despite the economic constraints, Egypt continues to allow refugees and asylum seekers to access certain rights and services. In addition, Egypt has implemented some key principles of the Global Compact on Refugees (GCR) such as the out-of-camp policy.

In the spirit of responsibility-sharing and a multi-stakeholder approach in the implementation of the Global Compact on Refugees, the content included in the Digital Space for the GRF Progress Review 2025 is submitted by States and other stakeholders themselves. They do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of UNHCR and its employees, and UNHCR is not responsible for any errors or omission, or for the results obtained from the use of this information.
