Head of Donor Relations, UNHCR

[UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency @Refugees]

It’s official!

@BarhamSalih, former President of Iraq, has been elected as the next High Commissioner for Refugees.

Having been a refugee himself, he brings powerful lived experience to lead UNHCR.

We’re excited to welcome him soon. 💙

@FilippoGrandi: "There is a remarkable opportunity for Syria to move toward peace... Patience and vigilance will be necessary, hoping that developments on the ground will evolve in a positive manner, allowing voluntary, safe and sustainable returns"

[Filippo Grandi @FilippoGrandi]

Syria is at a crossroads between peace and war, freedom and lawlessness, prosperity and misery.

For its refugees, the watershed is between repatriation and the continuation of exile.

It all depends on a peaceful transition, respecting the lives and aspirations of all Syrians.

[UNHCR Government Partners @UNHCRgov]

Sweden’s flexible, multi-year and predictable funding ensures we stay agile and ready to respond to complex crises like in Ukraine, Sudan and Lebanon.

Our close and trusted partnership with Sweden 🇸🇪 provides vital safety and protection to millions of forcibly displaced people.

[UNHCR Government Partners @UNHCRgov]

Early and predictable funding commitments mean we can better plan and deliver life-saving support.

With Germany reaffirming its strong partnership with UNHCR, we rely on this support to provide sustainable responses for those most in need.

[UNHCR Government Partners @UNHCRgov]

Denmark's exemplary support and flexible funding set a gold standard—enabling us to deliver life-saving aid and protection where and when it's needed most.

Proud to be Denmark's largest humanitarian partner and deeply grateful for your record-high pledge today.

Tak, Danmark! 🇩🇰

[Dominique Isabelle Hyde @DominiqueHyde]

This month, I’ve seen the life-changing impact of donor support for displaced people in Chad and Syria.

Grateful for Member States’ strong response at today’s Pledging Conference, announcing a record $1.14 billion in early support for refugees and displaced people in 2025. 🙏

[UNHCR Government Partners @UNHCRgov]

We rely on our strong partnership with the European Union and its leadership to mobilize a collective response in the coming years, including through essential humanitarian and development funding to support displaced and host communities.

🙏 @eu_echo @EU_Partnerships 🇪🇺

[UNHCR Government Partners @UNHCRgov]

Extraordinary support from @StatePRM & the American people made a difference in addressing multiple emergencies in 2024.

As needs show no signs of decreasing, we look forward to continuing to work together to protect, empower and find solutions for refugees worldwide in 2025.

[UNHCR Government Partners @UNHCRgov]

From emergency relief to shelter assistance and protection, continued support from @MofaJapan_en and the Japanese people helps us save lives, contribute to recovery efforts, and bring hope to millions forced to flee their homes.

ありがとう日本！

[UNHCR Government Partners @UNHCRgov]

At today’s Pledging Conference, the High Commissioner @FilippoGrandi called for:

🔹Substantive donor support
🔹Flexible funding to adapt to uncertainties
🔹Early contributions for timely action.

This is vital to meet the needs of millions and ensure sustainable responses.

Cambio climático y desplazamiento forzado:  la mayoría de las personas desplazadas por conflictos y violencia a nivel global viven en países severamente afectados por el cambio climático. Urge mayor apoyo.

[UNHCR Government Partners @UNHCRgov]

From Sudan to Ukraine, Lebanon to Myanmar, DRC and beyond — crises without end.

Our Global Appeal 2025 outlines how we aim to respond to the needs of displaced people and their hosts in the year ahead, and why your support has never been more crucial.

@JFCrisp @ifrc @ICRC @Refugees @AA_stabilisiert @SweMFA @NorwayMFA @DanishMFA @francediplo_EN @FCDOGovUK @MOFAkr_eng @MofaJapan_en @cooperation_lu @StatePRM Thanks for the question @JFCrisp - our approach is evolving at the same time these relief items are being introduced.  For example, blankets and sleeping mats will have small, discrete labels. More information to follow in the coming weeks and months.

[Mark Manly @MarkManly]

UNHCR is very good at delivering basic household items quickly to people fleeing conflict and violence. But these relief items come at an environmental cost.

Working with @ifrc & @ICRC, @refugees is introducing greener emergency items.

Target: 20% drop in CO₂ by 2025.

[Kelly T. Clements @KellyTClements]

Luxembourg 🇱🇺 has a longstanding tradition of welcoming refugees and has set an advanced model of support for UNHCR — from predictable funding to digital innovation and aligning humanitarian & development aid.

This week’s exchanges reaffirmed how critical our partnership is.

[Mark Manly @MarkManly]

No escape.

Our report launched today at #COP29 shows 3/4 of the 120 million forcibly displaced people globally are in countries with high to extreme climate impacts.

But these countries receive only a small % of climate financing.

This must change.

[UNHCR Government Partners @UNHCRgov]

Unearmarked funding from top donors like @SweMFA, @NorwayMFA, @FCDOGovUK, @DanishMFA and @DutchMFA is crucial for UNHCR to act immediately in emergencies.

In Lebanon, this support ensures vital assistance and legal counselling reach those in need, right when they need it most.

[Dominique Isabelle Hyde @DominiqueHyde]

Adre, Chad is a border town of 40,000 that now hosts 230,000 new arrivals from Sudan in a sprawling informal settlement.

Refugees wait here to be relocated to sites with shelters and essential services, but more resources are urgently needed to respond to the growing numbers.
