Countries expressed overwhelming support for UNHCR and our mission to help those who have been forced to flee around the world. The world changes, but our mission to protect those who need safety does not. #Excom

When emergencies strike, every moment matters and your support saves lives. Help UNHCR respond to disasters like the Panama earthquake. Homes have been destroyed, infrastructure damaged and families left in urgent need. If you’re able, please donate: donate.unhcr.org/int/en/panam...

“We must protect people when they are forced to flee, but we cannot accept indefinite displacement as their future." At #ExCom, High Commissioner Barham Salih warns against prolonged displacement and calls for solutions that help refugees rebuild. www.unhcr.org/news/stories...

Too many refugees are bracing for the cold. With UNHCR’s support, they can keep their homes warm and stay safe through winter's freezing months.

UNHCR is increasingly concerned about the deepening forced displacement crisis in the Central Sahel. With nearly 4 million people uprooted across Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger, this is the moment to scale up, not step back. ℹ️Learn more: www.unhcr.org/news/briefin...

After 10 years as a refugee, Jeanne returned home to Burundi with her 10 children. Now, she’s rebuilding their future. But funding shortfalls risk cutting the support families need to start again. Find out more: unh.cr/eJBYPX

Many Syrians finally see a glimmer of hope and stability on the horizon. But for those returning, the road home is long. The world must keep its eyes on Syria. #UNGA

Every day, forcibly displaced people work to create better lives for themselves after facing unimaginable hardships. Wherever they are and whomever they may be, refugees deserve the world’s attention and support.

Yemen: Escalating conflict could drive more displacement, with growing numbers of people expected to flee both within Yemen and to Djibouti, Somalia and other countries. Since the beginning of September, more than 130,000 people have been forced to flee. www.unhcr.org/us/news/brie...

Escalating conflict in Yemen is driving new displacement and refugee arrivals in Djibouti. More than 100,000 people have been displaced in Yemen, while more than 2,400 people have arrived in Djibouti from Yemen this week in search of safety. Civilians must be protected.

For refugees and forcibly displaced people, going back to school is more than lectures and homework. It's a chance to rebuild their lives, become self-reliant and contribute to the communities that have welcomed them.

75 years ago, the world made a promise to protect people forced to flee. Today, that promise is under strain. Our Goodwill Ambassador Theo James’ grandfather’s story powerfully reminds us why we must protect the right to seek safety. Read his op-ed in @time.com: time.com/article/2026...

Schools are a place of learning. Schools are a safe haven. For refugees, schools are a beacon of hope for a brighter tomorrow. Schools are a lot of things, but they should never be a target. #ProtectEducation #EducationUnderAttack

More than what you see. A basket. A blackboard. A wheelchair. A wedding dress. For these refugees in Rwanda, they mean a livelihood, an education, independence or a fresh start.

Playgrounds should be filled with laughter, not the scars of war. This children’s park in Ukraine was damaged in a Russian airstrike. This shouldn’t become anyone’s new normal.

9 years of lives on hold. 9 years of surviving in the camps. 9 years since the largest Rohingya refugee influx into Bangladesh. The world’s attention may have shifted, but the Rohingya refugees' need for safety and a life with dignity has not. We cannot look away.

Humanitarians are risking their lives to reach people fleeing war, conflict and persecution. They stay and deliver protection, food, medical care, shelter, aid and hope. They are not a target. Civilians are not a target. They must be protected. #ActForHumanity

In Bangladesh’s Rohingya refugee camps, monsoon season can be a matter of life and death. Families live in shelters on steep hillsides where landslides can destroy homes. As rainfall subsides, communities are repairing damage and recovering from the impact of recent storms.

World War II. Hungary. Algeria. Vietnam. Rwanda. Darfur. Syria. Ukraine. Sudan. Rohingya. From World Wars to civil wars. From crises to conflicts. For 75 years. When people are forced to flee, we must uphold The Promise of the Refugee Convention.

A simple but powerful principle: people forced to flee persecution, conflict or violence must be able to find safety and protection. 75 years after the Refugee Convention was adopted, it remains a lifeline for millions of refugees.

What if they had never found safety? The world might never have known some of its greatest scientists, writers, activists and innovators. These Nobel Prize laureates were once forced to flee and, after finding safety, went on to change the world.

Do not forget the Rohingya people. Nine years after the most recent wave of refugees fled Myanmar, 1.2 million refugees live in camps in Cox’s Bazar and are still in need of life-saving aid. We must stand with the Rohingya people.
