En abril, más de 280.000 personas afganas fueron deportadas o forzadas a retornar a su lugar de origen desde Irán y Pakistán.

Muchas de ellas llegaron con las manos vacías y necesitan ayuda urgentemente para poder reconstruir sus vidas.

May you rest in peace, Pope Francis.

You stood up and spoke out — relentlessly — for the poor, the persecuted, the victims of war, the refugees, the migrants.

May you continue to give us faith and courage in this brutal world.

Los medios apenas hablan de esto. Nadie lo menciona en debates políticos.

Millones de vidas en todo el mundo están afectadas por brutales recortes en ayuda internacional.

Pronto veremos a más personas morir, niños pasar hambre y muchos seguir desplazándose en busca de ayuda.

270,000 Syrian refugees returned home since the fall of the Assad regime and many more plan to return in the next year, according to our latest regional return intention survey.

The survey’s results highlight key elements of hope and needs:

🔹Over a quarter of Syrian refugees intend to go back to rebuild their lives in the next 12 months.

🔹Almost all refugees who plan to return in the next 12 months plan to return to their place of origin.

🔹Major obstacles to return include concerns over available housing and property rights, safety, access to basic services and economic challenges.

🔹Over 60% of refugees wish to visit Syria before making a final decision to return.

🔹Refugees who are willing to return need assistance in transportation and financial aid.

With @UNHCRinSYRIA and our partners’ teams we provide basic household items, psychological counselling, repairs to damaged homes, emergency cash assistance, support to replace lost identity documents.

With the help of our donors, we will continue to scale up our programmes.

Tens of thousands of Syrians have been forced from their homes by the recent fighting in Aleppo and beyond. Many have gone to Homs, Hama, Lattakia and Rural Damascus. Others have gone to Ar-Raqqa. They have fled just with what they were able to take with them at haste.

UNHCR and its partners are providing blankets, mattresses and other crucial items.

Thirteen years on, people in Syria are still on the run.

➡️ Se estima que las fuertes lluvias han afectado a más de 1,6 millones de personas que viven en refugios improvisados ​​en toda la Franja de Gaza, y que las inundaciones y el aumento del nivel del mar han afectado especialmente a 7.000 familias desplazadas que viven en tiendas de campaña a lo largo de la costa en el suroeste de Gaza. Miles de tiendas de campaña han quedado inundadas, se han destruido sus pertenencias y han dañado los refugios.

➡️ Las duras temperaturas invernales, agravadas por las fuertes lluvias y el aumento de las mareas, están agravando aún más la acumulación de aguas residuales, la propagación de enfermedades y el riesgo de derrumbe de los edificios dañados en los que muchas familias han buscado refugio.

Esto rompe el alma: la universidad pública en Madrid agoniza. No le dan ni 10 años de supervivencia. Ayuso ha aumentado su presupuesto un 0,9%, cuando los rectores pedían un 18% para poder seguir pagando las nóminas https://t.co/SfpzvAaLco

Last night, Israel bombed for the third time the Syrian side of the border crossing with Lebanon, at Joussieh. The major damage now makes it almost impossible for people fleeing Lebanon to pass. In spite of the serious risks involved, UNHCR Protection staff are there right now, trying to help physically those fit enough to cross. But they have also seen some elderly simply turn back to Lebanon.

Bombed in Lebanon. Bombed while trying to escape. And some of the very frail forced to go back to face more bombings.

En nombre de ACNUR quisiera expresar nuestras más sinceras condolencias al pueblo de España y nuestra solidaridad con la familias de las víctimas de la catástrofe causada por la DANA.

The UN's refugee chief @FilippoGrandi tells me of "the terrible, sad, tragic irony” of people fleeing back into Syria from Lebanon.

[Filippo Grandi @FilippoGrandi]

The number of people who have crossed into Syria from Lebanon fleeing Israeli airstrikes — Lebanese and Syrian nationals — has reached 100,000. The outflow continues.

UNHCR is present at four crossing points alongside local authorities and @SYRedCrescent to support new arrivals.

[Gonzalo Vargas Llosa @llosa_gonzalo]

The authorities in Syria are opening up collective shelters for vulnerable Lebanese who don't have a place to stay. Today, UNHCR staff and partners visited some of these in Homs. After their dramatic journey, they now have a place to rest, receive assistance, and share their stories.

[Filippo Grandi @FilippoGrandi]

More than 50,000 Lebanese and Syrians living in Lebanon have now crossed into Syria fleeing Israeli airstrikes. Well over 200,000 are displaced inside Lebanon.

Relief operations are underway, including by UNHCR, to help all those in need, in coordination with both governments.

[Filippo Grandi @FilippoGrandi]

The escalating crisis in Lebanon is frightening. Thousands of people were forced from their homes today, in a region already devastated by war.

The toll on civilians is unacceptable.

Political leaders must bring solutions. An end to the hostilities is urgently needed.
