This week, world leaders gather at the UN General Assembly to address global challenges.
Nearly 10 years into displacement, #Rohingya refugees ask world leaders not to forget them & keep working towards a safe, voluntary, dignified & sustainable return. 💙
#UNGA81 🇺🇳
World Cup season brings out friendly rivalries in our office too.
But whatever the score, UNHCR staff are always on the same team: standing with refugees.
#TeamRefugees 🩵⚽
Over the last 2 days in Cox’s Bazar🇧🇩 Deputy High Commissioner @KellyTClements, WFP's @RaniabtBakhita & donors heard directly from Rohingya refugees & the communities hosting them.
Amid ongoing challenges, they witnessed strength & determination that continues to shine through.
"Since childhood, my mother’s advice was never to discriminate between rich or poor, girls or boys."
💙 We spoke to refugees in Bangladesh about the wise words & warm memories that continue to guide them, even far from home.
To all mothers around the world, Happy #MothersDay
A large fire🔥broke out overnight in one of the Rohingya refugee camps, destroying/damaging 500+ shelters & camp infrastructure.
Heroic efforts of #refugee volunteers & 🇧🇩 fire service contained the flames and prevented injuries, but the damage is extensive👇

In response to the tragic fires that broke out in the #Rohingya camps last night, we continue to assess the situation and are working closely with our partners & volunteers on the ground to ensure the health & safety of #women and #girls, including #pregnant mothers.
During Australia's visit to the #Rohingya camps in #CoxsBazar, we also bid farewell to Amy Sheridan, Humanitarian Advisor of @dfat.
Thank you for your immense contributions to @UNFPA's #HumanitarianResponse in #Bangladesh!
We thank you & wish you all the best! 🧡
They’re not the heroes of a fictional world. They’re humanitarians, stepping up to save lives and help others, everyday, and without superpowers.
On #WorldHumanitarianDay, this film pays tribute to these #RealLifeHeroes.
