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

As the Ebola outbreak spreads across the DRC-Uganda border, IOM is urging governments and partners to strengthen cross-border coordination.

Closing borders alone can push movement underground, making outbreaks harder to detect and contain.https://t.co/0t0sgZNmU3

When crisis forces a family to flee their home, their first need is simple: a safe place to stay with dignity.

IOM provides shelter and essential services to support people affected by crisis and displacement, because shelter is the first step toward recovery.#ShelterFirst

[IOM - UN Migration 🇺🇳 @UNmigration]

Behind one of the world's largest displacement crises are millions of people struggling to rebuild their lives amid conflict and uncertainty.

The people of Sudan continue to need protection, assistance and hope for a safer future.

[IOM - UN Migration 🇺🇳 @UNmigration]

As the Ebola outbreak evolves, IOM continues to focus on strengthening preparedness and response at borders and in areas of high population mobility.

A coordinated response is essential to limiting further spread and protecting communities at risk. https://t.co/0rtixemXVQ

Mental health is not a luxury. It is a fundamental part of protection and recovery.

Migrants often face significant stress and uncertainty throughout their journeys. Access to mental health and psychosocial support helps people heal and prepare for what lies ahead.

No one should have to wonder where they'll cook their next meal.

Or how they'll get through the night.

For families displaced in Haiti, the smallest things can help bring back a sense of normal life.

#ShelterFirst

[IOM - UN Migration 🇺🇳 @UNmigration]

We all need a place where we belong.

A place to rest.

A place to return to.

A place to begin again.

Because having a home is a right, not a privilege.

In the decades following WWII, thousands of migrants travelled from Europe to Australia in search of work and stability.

Grateful to the @StateDept for their trust and funding to IOM’s Ebola response.

With their rapid support for global health security, IOM is scaling up health screening, surveillance and preparedness at critical borders and regional Points of Entry. https://t.co/Y6K7owYd1v

Sometimes the most powerful form of support comes from someone who has walked the same path.

In South Sudan, an IOM staff member is helping people with visual impairments build skills for daily life by sharing lessons drawn from his own experiences.

Responding to migration challenges requires resources that can adapt to changing realities on the ground.

We welcome the Government of the Netherlands’ support in helping IOM continue to effectively provide timely support where needs are greatest. https://t.co/BUtmx7HdfR

A place to call home is a right, yet so many in the world dont have this precious space to rebuild their lives after tragedy has struck.

Shelter is so much more than walls and a roof. It is often the foundation to reclaiming hope for a future that was taken away.#Shelterfirst

On Eid Al Adha, we wish peace and happiness to all those celebrating. May the spirit of generosity continue to inspire support for one another around the world.

Eid Mubarak.
