Shelter is more than a roof. It is safety, stability, and the foundation for recovery.

With a safe place to stay, children can return to school, families can access healthcare, and people can begin rebuilding livelihoods and reconnecting with their communities. #ShelterFirst

New skills and reintegration support help people rebuild with dignity and hope.

Migration is an opportunity, not a problem.

Across the UK, migrants help keep services running, businesses growing and communities strong. When migration is well managed, everyone benefits.

[IOM United Kingdom @IOM_UK]

Today we face record displacement driven by conflict, climate & economic shocks. Most migration is within regions, with neighbouring countries hosting the majority.

At the UK Global Partnerships Conference, IOM called for collective action to invest in jobs, skills & systems.

Migration, when well-managed, is part of the solution.

[Ugochi Daniels @daniels_ugochi]

Thank you @SkyNews for the opportunity to discuss the humanitarian implications of the unfolding Middle East crisis.

As the situation evolves, its effects are felt across the region, placing additional pressure on countries and communities already facing significant challenges.

[Christa Rottensteiner @Rottensteiner_C]

Thrilled to have @daniels_ugochi with us in the UK.

[Ugochi Daniels @daniels_ugochi]

Grateful for the chance to connect with the IOM UK team while here for the UK Global Partnership Conference.

At a time of growing needs and shrinking resources, our focus remains on partnerships and practical solutions that help communities move beyond long-term aid dependence.

[Christa Rottensteiner @Rottensteiner_C]

Today at the Global Partnerships Conference, we called for action beyond crisis response on displacement. At IOM’s side event in London, partners from government, finance, private sector & diaspora focused on scaling solutions in jobs, systems & financing, with UK leadership key.

Hope takes shape through people showing up for one another.

In Wakefield, volunteers built support for a family to arrive through UK’s community sponsorship. With @UNMigration by the family’s side at every step of their resettlement journey.

Meet Nadine, communications intern with IOM in the UK.

In this video, she shares a glimpse into her day-to-day work and how digital communication helps connect audiences to the human realities of migration.

[IOM United Kingdom @IOM_UK]

Migration is best understood through facts, not fear.

The 2026 World Migration Report brings together the best available data, research and real-world insights to better understand migration and its impact.

After working on farms in 🇬🇧, Rustam returned to Uzbekistan with skills to transform strawberry farming & create opportunities.

At #IMRF2026, stories like Rustam’s show how expanding regular pathways & investing in migrants’ skills can drive growth.

Having their immigration situation resolved makes a huge difference to women, empowering them and their children to escape abusive relationships. IOM is providing expert legal advice with long-term impact.

[IOM United Kingdom @IOM_UK]

For migrant women facing domestic abuse, immigration status can be a barrier to safety.

@UNmigration works with frontline organisations and local authorities across the UK, including Scotland, to provide specialist immigration advice to those most at risk.

Humanitarian needs are rising amid over 130 active conflicts worldwide. Stronger global cooperation is urgently needed.

Yesterday, @unmigration UK chief, @Rottensteiner_C briefed parliamentarians on the need for coordinated international action to end suffering.

[IOM - UN Migration 🇺🇳 @UNmigration]

Healthcare is a human right but for millions of migrants, it feels out of reach.

From mobile clinics in Egypt 🇪🇬 to mental health support in Algeria 🇩🇿, IOM's NAMAD project is breaking down every barrier standing in the way of access to healthcare.

It was a great pleasure to attend the 7th RMFM - such impressive progress that has been made to make migration more productive and safer.

[IOM United Kingdom @IOM_UK]

Cooperation between countries of origin, transit, & destination is key to ensuring safe labour mobility & addressing irregular migration. W/support from @FCDOGovUK, the 7th Regional Ministerial Forum on Migration brought together 11 countries to strengthen coordinated action.

📢@derStandardat article sheds light on displacement trends caused by #MiddleEast conflict.

“Many are seeking safety within their own country,” says @ArthurErken.

@DTM_IOM data show movements remain largely internal with limited cross-border flows.

Important discussion on diasporas turning remittances into clean energy investment. @IOM_UK

[IOM United Kingdom @IOM_UK]

Diaspora communities play a vital role in driving sustainable futures 🌍.

At our diaspora evening on investing in Africa’s green future, we explored how remittances can be channelled into clean energy investment with long-term development impact.

Thank you to everyone who joined us.

Shortfalls in funding threaten life saving services for 187,000 people in #SouthSudan.

The lack of access to water, sanitation and flood prevention could trigger disease outbreaks and renewed displacement within weeks.

Urgent action is needed now. https://t.co/aP0SHKCOYo
