In this unforgiving world, refugees also lose the identity that they are human beings too. Like any of us, they have the right to safe and dignified shelter. These temporary shelters are the bare minimums to keep families dry through rain and floods.
Let them live in safety.

[UNHCR in Bangladesh @UNHCR_BGD]

Imagine raising your family in a shelter that can flood during monsoon, collapse in a cyclone, or burn down within hours.

It's a reality for many Rohingya refugees.

This is why we're building temporary safer shelters while protecting the surrounding environment.

Honoured to witness Prime Minister Tarique Rahman, Cabinet Ministers & Members of Parliament take their oaths today, as they start their tenure as the new Government of Bangladesh.

Congratulations on this historical moment & looking forward to a strong partnership🤝

Last night’s fire was contained, but dozens of shelters were destroyed👇

Humanitarians & refugee volunteers are supporting affected families.
🚨As the dry season starts, fires in the camps become more frequent - destroying shelters & forcing families to rebuild again and again.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

I strongly condemn the Israeli attacks in Qatar – a clear violation of the country’s sovereignty & territorial integrity.

Qatar has played a positive role to achieve a ceasefire & the release of all hostages.

Everyone must work towards achieving a permanent ceasefire, not destroying it.

[UNHCR in Bangladesh @UNHCR_BGD]

Refugees fleeing persecution carry invisible scars, and life in camps can deepen their pain.
The theme of #WorldSuicidePreventionDay2025 - changing the narrative on suicide - reminds us to break the silence & listen with compassion🕊️

We are pleased to welcome our new Representative, Ivo Freijsen, to Bangladesh!🇧🇩

A major earthquake has caused many casualties in Afghanistan. This adds death and destruction to other challenges including drought and the forced return of millions of Afghans from neighbouring countries. Hopefully the donor community will not hesitate to support relief efforts.

Leaving Bangladesh after three intense days with government, partners, colleagues. Nowhere more than in the Cox’s Bazar
camps is the life-saving role of humanitarian aid clear; no other refugee population more than the #Rohingya deserve a just, durable solution to their plight.

[Asif Neloy Hasan @HMAsifulHoque]

This may look like a small step from afar. But it matters way much to those who won't have to live on a wet floor and puddles at their doorsteps on the smallest scale of rain. @UNHCR_BGD strives to improve the living condition of the #Rohingya refugees kindly hosted by 🇧🇩

[YokoAkasakaUNHCR @YokoAkasaka]

Impressive work done. @UNHCR_BGD Shelter team is building shelters with elevated floors, enabling #Rohingya refugees to live in the flood prone area in Camp 26,

Even in the darkest days, I’ve seen hope power change.

There are no guarantees for what’s ahead in 2025.

But I pledge to stand with all those who are working to forge a more peaceful, equal, stable and healthy future for all people.

[UNHCR in Bangladesh @UNHCR_BGD]

Four days after the massive fire, UNHCR and partners are in full swing with site planning, NFIs distribution, and key messaging to support the affected refugee community.

Noise pollution is a serious environmental concern, and its current levels in Dhaka are alarming. We can control it through awareness. Let’s act responsibly, avoid unnecessary honking and protect ourselves and others from noise pollution.

Curious about our day-to-day work on the ground?

Tune in for a quick 1-minute ride-along with Zahid 👇 to see how we're working to improve shelters where we can in the Rohingya refugee camps 🎥

[Filippo Grandi @FilippoGrandi]

Honoured to take part in the discussion on #Rohingya refugees led by the @ChiefAdviserGoB.

This is a yearly #UNGA event but Dr Yunus’ presence and vision meant that it wasn’t business as usual.

We must strive to end the Rohingya people’s discrimination, statelessness and exile.

[Filippo Grandi @FilippoGrandi]

Away from headlines, conflict and violence in Myanmar are dramatically worsening, including in Northern Rakhine. I appeal to all parties to ensure the security of civilians and humanitarians, and to neighbouring countries to allow safe access to refugees fleeing for their lives.
