Honoured to meet H.E. Sheikh @alimamaltayeb, Grand Imam of @Alazhar, today.
At a time of record displacement, compassion, solidarity & protection matter more than ever. Grateful for Al-Azhar’s leadership—including its guidance that refugees are eligible for Zakat—and our partnership supporting displaced families.

تشرفت بلقاء فضيلة الإمام الأكبر الشيخ أحمد الطيب، @alimamaltayeb شيخ @Alazhar.
الأزهر الشريف منارة للعلم والتسامح والاعتدال، ويؤكد دائماً على التعاطي الإنساني مع النازحين واللاجئين.
فتاواه التي أجازت تخصيص أموال الزكاة للاجئين شكّلت شريان حياة لآلاف الأسر.
كل الامتنان لشراكتنا في دعم وتمكين الأسر النازحة بكرامة.
فلنعمل معاً على توسيع هذا الدعم، وضمان وصوله لكل من يحتاجه.

Grateful to the EU and, in particular, @EUHomeAffairs for their continued commitment to supporting forcibly displaced people.

Your sustained engagement and solidarity make a real difference in advancing protection, dignity, and durable solutions for those forced to flee.

في مصر، يحمل رمضان للاجئين حنينًا لبيوتٍ بعيدة… لكنه يحمل أيضًا أملًا لا ينطفئ 🌙

حول موائد بسيطة، تجتمع العائلات، يضحك الأطفال، وتتجدد روح التكافل.

رغم اللجوء، يبقى رمضان نورًا في القلوب.✨

كل عام وأنتم بخير 🌙#رمضان_كريم

GFF 2025 LIVE | As part of her participation in GFF 2025 as a UNHCR Global Goodwill Ambassador aligned to our Cinema for Humanity cause, we’re proud to welcome the incomparable Cate Blanchett to the red carpet to mark the MENA premiere of her latest work, ‘Father Mother Sister Brother’. Directed by Jim Jarmusch and starring an ensemble cast featuring the likes of Adam Driver, Tom Waits and Charlotte Rampling, the character-driven anthology film looks at the often wrought relationship between parents and their adult children. Split into three different stories, the comedy-drama won the Golden Lion at Venice International Film Festival earlier this year and has been hailed for its masterful blend of observational humour and emotional nuance.

The film comes as the latest entry in a body of work that has cemented Blanchett’s status as one of the most versatile actors of her generation.

[El Gouna Film Festival @ElGounaFilm]

El Gouna Film Festival was honored to present its Champion of Humanity Award to Academy Award winner and UNHCR Global Goodwill Ambassador, Cate Blanchett, presented by founder of El Gouna Film Festival and chairman of Orascom Investment Holding, Naguib Sawiris, and founder of El Gouna and chairman of the El Gouna Film Festival Board of Directors, Samih Sawiris.

In alignment with our theme, 'Cinema for Humanity,' the award recognises Blanchett’s profound and sustained commitment to humanitarian causes worldwide. As a leading voice for UNHCR, she has tirelessly championed the rights and welfare of refugees and displaced people globally, using her influential voice and platform to drive essential awareness and support. We celebrate her as an artist whose enduring empathy is as compelling as her craft, exemplifying the power of cinema to drive meaningful and impactful change.

‘there goes the wind’ in that low voice, I LOVE HER.

In Ramadan a plethora of organizations collect Zakat online, donors should verify “genuine” sharia compliance before entrusting their Zakat to an entity. We spared no effort in UNHCR to make sure our Refugees Zakat Fund is 100% Sharia compliant.

نعدّ الأيام والساعات لبلوغ الشهر المبارك 🌙
والملايين مشتاقون له ويستعدّون لصيامه...
لكن الأسر اللاجئة تستقبله في ظروف صعبة
وهم يعتمدون على دعمنا

Grateful for the Zakat contribution from @qcharity, which provided emergency cash assistance to more than 23,000 Sudanese refugees in Egypt.

It is partners like @qcharity, that provide a lifeline to the most vulnerable forcibly displaced individuals.

Lebanon on the brink: The escalating violence has created an urgent need for humanitarian support.
