Since April, over 300,000 Sudanese refugees have arrived in Egypt. Our partner Refuge Egypt has shared with us what they have been doing to help the new arrivals. 

This week, our friends and partners in Egypt tell us how they celebrate Holy Week. Just like in the UK, Holy Week and the Easter celebrations at its end are a hugely important time for Christians across the Middle East.

Lent is observed by Christians across the world. This week, our friends and partners in Egypt share how their churches mark this time of reflection and contemplation. Christians in Egypt predominately belong to the Coptic Church, but other denominations include Armenian Apostolic, Catholic, Maronite and Anglican. 

Most refugees fleeing their home countries arrive in Cairo with little more than the clothes on their back.
