At today’s Geneva event on return & reintegration, UNHCR’s Deputy Representative in Afghanistan highlighted the realities on the ground & amplified the voices of women. The message was clear: more funding, more support, more compassion — hope must not collapse at the border.

Weeks after the devastating earthquake in eastern Afghanistan, families are still trying to recover. UNHCR is on the ground delivering life-saving support but the needs remain huge. Watch 📹

Alarming gap: Afghan returnees surge as funding falls dangerously short. Without urgent investment, hard-won progress will collapse—risking regional instability. We call for immediate action. #UNinAfghanistan

My thoughts are with the Burmese, who have already suffered enough since the military coup, and now because of the earthquake. I pray for the victims and their families. My thoughts are with the victims in Thailand. My heart beats for the people in both countries!

Inspired by the innovation and resilience I witnessed while visiting companies and factories in Kandahar and Helmand. With UN support, entrepreneurs and communities are driving progress and creating livelihoods for #Afghan people.
