Thankful to @ODG_UNON and colleagues across U.N. agencies who gathered with us on #WorldRefugeeDay to stand in solidarity with the over 5 million refugees in this region & the generous communities who continue to host them.
#JournéeDuRéfugié: 12,7 M de déplacés en Afrique de l’Ouest et du Centre.
Le Directeur régional @GnonKond salue les actes de solidarité des communautés d’accueil, des États, des ONG, des acteurs humanitaires et du développement, ainsi que des donateurs.
Today is #WorldRefugeeDay.
I am spending it in Syria with some of the 600,000 people who have returned from neighbouring countries after 14 years of conflict.
Syria today is where returning Syrians — given security, opportunities and support — can finally stop being refugees.
At a time of record displacement and shrinking support, we always choose solidarity over silence.
This #WorldRefugeeDay, we honour refugees not just with our words, but with action, empathy and unwavering support.
This #WorldRefugeeDay, ask yourself:
What kind of world do you want to live in?
A world that turns away? Or a world that shows up?
Let’s choose solidarity.
Hey, are you still with us?
In the face of ongoing wars, humanitarian crises and displacement, the world must not look away.
Choose empathy over apathy. Choose solidarity with refugees.

The looting of UNHCR warehouse in Wad Madani #Al Jazeera is yet another humanitarian loss & disaster! The $millions worth of supplies perished as a result of the war & looting is uncountable! This should not continue! A return to peace in 🇸🇩
The IGAD region shelters 4.5 m refugees,vulnerable groups, including women & children. That's why we firmly advocate for durable soln tailored @gender equality & GBV response. Hence, intl support to PoCs should shift to humanitarian-devt-peace nexus.
@AbiyAhmedAli@DemekeHasen
UNHCR hosts more than 160 UN Volunteers in this region. They support UNHCR efforts to stand with refugees & other people of concern.
