Yesterday, Rewa of @RohingyaResp led an assessment team to Teknaf - the southernmost tip of #Bangladesh
We don’t know when and where #CycloneMocha will hit. However we know it will have a huge impact.
I am humbled that my mandate at #UNHCR was extended by #UNGA till end 2025.
I thank Member States, @antonioguterres and my colleagues for their trust and support.
Challenges grow, but we at UNHCR remain committed to protecting people forced to flee, and this makes me proud. 🇺🇳
Today as I am returning from a week in Ukraine on #worldhumanitarianday I am a little bit extra proud of our amazing workforce @Refugees Thank you for everything you do- you are making a difference! 🙏🏻
14 UN #Volunteers@Refugees were celebrated this month as they became recipients of 1st ever UNHCR #Volunteer Service Awards.

“730 UN #Volunteers@Refugees make our org. more diverse&inclusive. The majority serve deep in the field, making a difference, being there face to face, hand to hand & heart to heart with #refugees. Congrats to the winners & a big thank you for your contributions!” - @CattyBennet
Massive thanks to @JohannesKlaauw and team for an incredible week in Bangladesh @UNHCR_BGD meeting our amazing colleagues and refugees in Dhaka, Cox’s Bazaar and Bhasan Char. Great way to celebrate the anniversary of 3 years @Refugees ❤️
After spending a week with @UNHCRinSudan meeting our amazing teams in Darfur, Khartoum, Kassala and Gedaref I am impressed, humbled and inspired. Thank you @AxelBisschop for showing how we stay and deliver for @Refugees in real time!
I first learned about Prickles, not from mainstream media, but from my mother in Tennessee. The story of Prickles has global appeal and the farmer’s motivation to do more @refugees as a result of her safe return is truly touching. Thank you!
@UNrefugees
7th week of #lockdown: every evening, a new resolution emerges with high hopes to get it right the next day: but there is always a variable that was not factored in the night before: weather (gloomy or sunny), children’s mood (harmony or tantrums), sleep (insomnia or restorative)
As part of UNHCR’s global response to #COVID19@FilippoGrandi hosted the first ever virtual town gall with our global workforce today. Proud to work with such inspiring and strong leadership @KellyTClements@RaoufMazou
BREAKING: The World Health Organization has announced that dogs cannot contract Covid-19. Dogs previously held in quarantine can now be released. To be clear, WHO let the dogs out.
Highlight of my September week in NYC with these bright youngsters who drilled me on climate action, political paralysis and how to make a difference in the world. They are our future as are the millions of refugee youth who want an education and dream big about the future.
Curiosity, agency, reflection and empathy- key skills for the future! Thank you @MyriamDenk Greg Vines, Hans Barrit and @MeganRock18 for an inspiring dialogue this morning!
@CattyBennet leads inspiring discussion with other thought leaders on the Future of Work - how to put people first in a digital world - priority for @UN - no way to deliver better if we don’t put humans at the center to shape technology with empathy to build a better world
