Nehmat, a displaced Lebanese woman, holds up a photo of her destroyed home: "It was bombed, and now there is nothing left."

Some families are returning to their villages, but the scale of the destruction means that for many others displacement continues.

Tyre, Lebanon is devastated.

Homes, hospitals and shelters are damaged or destroyed by Israeli strikes.

Ceasefires mean little when fear remains.

Hundreds of thousands are still displaced, stuck in uncertainty. This must end.

#WorldRefugeeDay

75 years after the 1951 Refugee Convention was signed here in Geneva, the right to seek safety remains as essential as ever.

As a country with a long-standing commitment to refugee protection and a strong partnership with UNHCR @Refugees, 🇬🇷Greece supports efforts that promote dignity, inclusion and durable solutions for displaced populations.

Until everyone is safe, our shared responsibility continues.

"Weaponization of this refugee issue is not the way to solve it.

It's not the moral thing. It's not the humane thing. And I don't think it is entirely smart either.”

Ahead of #WorldRefugeeDay High Commissioner @BarhamSalih joined @CNN's @zainasher for an important interview.

[UNHCR Greece @UNHCRGreece]

From Vietnam in the 1970s to today’s Sudan crisis, refugees who rebuilt their lives in Greece shared personal stories of displacement, belonging and hope.

Their voices, together with a moving performance by the Masaar Choir, reminded us that courage takes many forms. 2/2

What does courage look like?

At the opening of Memory And Courage exhibition, marking #WorldRefugeeDay & the 75th anniversary of Refugee Convention, visitors explored UNHCR archival photographs alongside contemporary works by artists with refugee & migrant backgrounds. 1/2

[UNHCR Greece @UNHCRGreece]

For millions of people forced to flee war, conflict and persecution, protection can mean the difference between life and death.

In an unstable world, your right to seek safety matters more than ever.

We reiterate our call for the prompt conclusion of the investigation into the Pylos shipwreck.

We owe it to the victims and their families - to remember, to act and to ensure that such tragedies are not repeated. (3/3)

[UNHCR Greece @UNHCRGreece]

3 years on, we remember the lives lost off Pylos. A tragedy that cannot be forgotten.

Saving lives at sea must remain the first priority. It is a moral & legal obligation & a reflection of the values that Europe stands for: humanity, solidarity & respect for human life. (1/3)

[UNHCR Greece @UNHCRGreece]

This commemoration is also a reminder of the urgent need to expand safe and legal pathways, ensure access to protection for those who need it and address the root causes of forced displacement. (2/3)

[UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency @Refugees]

Millions of people have been forced to flee around the world.

Behind every figure is a person who’s fled violence, war or persecution. Many are still waiting for safety and stability.
