“The distance from the Strait of Hormuz to a family home or village market is shorter than we think.”

@UN Secretary-General @antonioguterres raises the alarm on the cost & consequences of conflicts raging across the world

[UNHCR Greece @UNHCRGreece]

Another tragic reminder that people continue to risk everything in search of safety.

At least 12 lives lost, including a baby, off Lesvos and Samos.

We cannot become desensitized to tragedies at sea. Every life lost is one too many. https://t.co/A7n33gvfsz

Run.

Toussaint Chiza brought his voice and personal story to the United Nations at #UNGA.

His performance brought the refugee experience into the room, drawing on refugee stories and his own journey from DR Congo to safety in Sweden.

Heartbreaking news, with the death toll now at 139 and expected to grow as more than 80 still missing. @UNHCRDjibouti stands ready to support the survivors impacted by this unfathomable tragedy.

[UNHCR Eastern and Southern Africa @RefugeesAfrica]

UNHCR is deeply saddened by the deaths of least 109 people, incl 15 children following the capsizing of a boat carrying more than 305 migrants off the coast of #Djibouti travelling to Yemen. We are working w/@DjiboutiIom to assess protection needs, incl counseling for survivors.

The discussion also provided me a very special moment to pay tribute to my own mother, a nurse who was called in to serve triaging and responding to the wounded.

Thank you @macaulayhonors @Sept11Memorial

[Deanna @Dbitetti]

25 years ago time seemed to stop on that fateful day.

Thank you @Sept11Memorial @macaulayhonors for hosting this discussion & moment of reflection on what it meant for a generation of college students in NYC & how it shaped our futures

From Syrian refugee to commercial pilot.

Our Goodwill Ambassador and the first female Syrian pilot, Maya Ghazal is proof of what’s possible when refugees have access to education.

[UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency @Refugees]

At #UNGA, Goodwill Ambassador Gugu Mbatha-Raw remembered brave refugee women she met at the Chad-Sudan border.

Ordinary people who had lost loved ones, homes and safety but held onto their hopes for the future.

For them and millions of others, the refugee convention is a lifeline.

[UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency @Refugees]

30 seconds. One message.

This is UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador @Marymaker_43’s message for world leaders from #UNGA.

[Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish]

UN refugee chief, Barham Salih, has warned the Security Council that more than 117 million people are forcibly displaced worldwide, with Sudan, Ukraine, Western Sahara, Yemen, the Sahel and Myanmar among the crises driving displacement.

From Yemen to Sudan, Ukraine, Myanmar and too many other places around the world, people are crying out for peace.

[UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency @Refugees]

Today, High Commissioner @‌BarhamSalih delivered his first address to the UN Security Council.

His message was clear: displacement is rapidly outpacing solutions.

He called on the #UNSC to make peace possible so refugees can return.
