Mauritania has become one of West Africa's principal refugee-hosting countries, sheltering an estimated 305,000 refugees and asylum-seekers as of July 2026, the overwhelming majority of whom have fled insecurity and conflict in neighbouring Mali.
Refugee Concentration in Hodh Chargui
The region of Hodh Chargui in the southeast hosts approximately 290,000 refugees and asylum-seekers, representing over a third of the region's population. Established in 2012 and located in Hodh Chargui, Mbera Camp currently hosts around 120,000 refugees.
More than 170,000 refugees and asylum-seekers live among host communities across the region of Hodh Chargui, creating significant pressure on local resources and infrastructure.
Urban Displacement and Diverse Nationalities
Close to 14,000 refugees and asylum-seekers are living in Nouakchott and Nouadhibou, including refugees from Mali and 47 other nationalities. These cities are also key transit points for mixed movements towards North Africa and Europe.
The volatile security situation in Mali continues to drive new arrivals, with urban areas playing an increasingly important role in Mauritania's forced displacement context.
UNHCR Support and Protection Efforts
UNHCR supports the Government in refugee registration and refugee status determination (RSD), while providing protection and promoting solutions for refugees and asylum-seekers. UNHCR and partners remain prepared to respond to further influxes while supporting the Mauritanian Government in strengthening inclusive systems and equitable access to protection and essential services.
The country strategy focuses on ensuring equitable access to protection and essential services for all refugees and asylum-seekers across Mauritania.
