October is breast cancer awareness month. You have probably seen the pretty little pink ribbons.

But it is important to say that breast cancer is not pretty.

There ain't no easy way out.

But when a global pandemic threatened the lives of our loved ones, these refugees wouldn't back down. #COVID19

@MoSalah has brought four refugee voices to #UNGA.

Lebanon has hosted refugees for many years.

The explosion last week has devastated the capital, and thousands of people have lost their homes.

@refugees is providing urgent aid, but the needs are massive. Here's how you can help: https://t.co/mCqgP2CJKY

[Filippo Grandi @FilippoGrandi]

Washing hands, keeping safe distances and staying at home are good preventive measures for #COVID19.

People with limited access to water, living in crowded places, or homeless - like many refugees and displaced - will therefore be even more vulnerable.

We think of them, too.

[Filippo Grandi @FilippoGrandi]

We can all help stop the #coronavirus spread and protect the most vulnerable. I am taking the ⁦@WHO⁩ #SafeHandsChallenge: thanks ⁦@DrTedros⁩ for nominating me.

I challenge ⁦@RedHourBen⁩, ⁦@unicefchief⁩ + #InstantNetworkSchools ambassador ⁦@MoSalah⁩!

As humanitarians, we cannot abandon Libya – to leave now would be a dereliction of duty @FilippoGrandi https://t.co/UJBUVzOO9f
