Faduna is 75 years old. She walked (& was sometimes carried) for 20 days before reaching #Dadaab #Kenya. She is almost blind. She left because there was no food. She left because of conflict. She is just one human face of the #climatecrisis. She is what drives our #ClimateAction

[Filippo Grandi @FilippoGrandi]

There are 35 million people who have fled their country because of war, violence, persecution, discrimination.

Refugees have the right to
protection from what they fear, deserve opportunities to rebuild their lives and must be given respect for their courage.

@USGS_Quakes Hi there, in our reporting should we say earthquakes (plural) or earthquake and an aftershock? Just wondering what is technically correct. Thank you

[Filippo Grandi @FilippoGrandi]

We at UNHCR stand in solidarity with the people of Türkiye and Syria affected by today’s devastating earthquake and are ready to help provide urgent relief to the survivors through our field teams wherever possible.

In Melkadida, in SE #Ethiopia, the significant gains made in tackling malnutrition are under threat due to shocks like the #drought sweeping across the Horn of Africa

UNSG on his time as High Commissioner for Refugees: “I had the best 10 years of my life, in which it was possible to be in the most dramatic situations in the world, but to have the power to take decisions and make life better for those people”The Guardian https://t.co/wd7Nqf8VcQ

UNHCR is stepping up our climate action:

We’re mobilizing support for refugees, displaced & stateless people.

We’re changing how we deliver aid & protect.

We’re helping affected communities to boost their capacity to adapt.

Now we need States to take bold action. #COP27

[francesca fontanini @fontanin]

#COP27 started to see how to deliver action on critical issues tackling climate emergency.
Four consecutive failed rainy seasons have led to a devastating #drought in the #HornOfAfrica. 18M people facing severe hunger.
@refugees needs US$42M to provide basic emergency assistance

[UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency @Refugees]

The climate crisis is on every continent and people forced to flee are on its frontlines. #COP27
