Rohingya youth in the refugee camps near Cox’s Bazar shared with Deputy High Commissioner @KellyTClements how eager they are to learn, lead and dream, even after years of displacement and uncertainty.

A powerful reminder: every young person deserves a future filled with hope.💙

[UNHCR in Bangladesh @UNHCR_BGD]

Over the last 2 days in Cox’s Bazar🇧🇩 Deputy High Commissioner @KellyTClements, WFP's @RaniabtBakhita & donors heard directly from Rohingya refugees & the communities hosting them.

Amid ongoing challenges, they witnessed strength & determination that continues to shine through.

Congratulations to @FilippoGrandi, former High Commissioner for Refugees, on being awarded the Grand Cordon of the Order Rising Sun decoration by HM the Emperor of Japan. A truly well‑deserved honour for a lifetime of service and deep humanity. Proud across the UNHCR community.

[UNHCR in Bangladesh @UNHCR_BGD]

Imagine raising your family in a shelter that can flood during monsoon, collapse in a cyclone, or burn down within hours.

It's a reality for many Rohingya refugees.

This is why we're building temporary safer shelters while protecting the surrounding environment.

Safety shouldn’t cost a life.

Yet, 2025 was the deadliest year yet for maritime movements of Rohingya refugees.
Because many feel like they have no choice but to risk everything for a better life.

This is a real call from an Afghan mother in Iran, read by a translator.

In March, UNHCR's refugee helpline received around 1,000 calls a day from Afghans seeking help.

Help us answer them.

This is what taking the right to health seriously looks like. Bangladesh made it happen.

Refugee children living in overcrowded camps with strained health services are among the most exposed when outbreaks spread. Protecting them is how we protect everyone. #WorldImmunizationDay

[Dominique Isabelle Hyde @DominiqueHyde]

Today’s move by @FIFAcom to enable Afghan women athletes who fled Afghanistan to represent their homeland gives an important recognition to their rights and place in the game.

We need more moments like this, where systems adapt to lift up refugees rather than exclude them.
