For #WorldRefugeeDay we want to celebrate our work with @refugees from their logo on the back of our shirts to our frontline work empowering people forced to flee through sports projects in Uganda🇺🇬, Türkiye🇹🇷, Colombia🇨🇴 and Malaysia🇲🇾.
On #WorldRefugeeDay we have reached unfortunately also a very sad target — more than 500,000 people have now fled the fighting in Sudan to neighbouring countries.
Half a million refugees.
Guns must fall silent if we want this exodus to stop.
Together with @IKEAFoundation, @IKEA and @rodekorsnorge, we are marking #WorldRefugeeDay by putting a #RefugeeHousingUnit on display inside IKEA’s warehouse in Oslo, Norway.
Please come by and learn more about forced displacement. You cannot go shopping there without seeing it.
Aldri før har så mange blitt tvunget til å flykte.
I dag markerer vi Verdens flyktningdag, mens over 100 millioner mennesker er på flukt.
FN @Refugees gjør en uvurderlig innsats for å beskytte og hjelpe folk på flukt til en ny start. Norge støtter dette arbeidet.
#RefugeeDay
Fra 2013 til 2023 har antallet mennesker som er tvunget på flukt mer enn doblet seg – mer enn noe annet behøver vi løsninger på de altfor mange konfliktene som driver mennnesker på flukt.

Takk 🇳🇴 for today's constructive meeting.
Norway's vital & generous funding to UNHCR helps ensure our response to the increasing needs of people fleeing their homes.
Thanks also for your strong engagement in peace efforts, essential for addressing the conflicts behind.
Pleased to have taken up my new role as UNHCR's Representative to the Nordic & Baltic countries. My father was a refugee here many years ago... Looking forward to working with refugees, governments and civil society actors.

More than 2 million people in Bangladesh were affected by Cyclone Mocha.
Norwegian support enables us to provide shelter support, psychological first, child protection services and more.
Tusen takk Norge!🇳🇴♥️
I am shocked and saddened by reports that at least 10 refugees living in Sudan have died in an attack in Khartoum. UNHCR is trying to reach and provide support to survivors.
All civilians are in danger in Sudan. Guns must be silenced if lives are to be saved and aid delivered.
We celebrated all the people who work to create peace with an exhibition in #TimesSquare, marking 75 years of UN Peacekeeping. In collaboration with #InsideOut, the action recognized the efforts of peacekeepers & communities striving together to secure peace. #PK75#PeaceBegins

More than 150,000 people have now fled Sudan, where fighting between military leaders continues: both Sudanese citizens and refugees hosted in Sudan have crossed into Egypt, South Sudan, Chad and other countries.
Needs are huge. Resources are scarce. Aid is required, urgently!
In June, UEFA and UNHCR will host the Unity Euro Cup ⚽️, a football tournament that brings together national teams of refugees and local youth from across Europe to play together and connect. This year both Finland 🇫🇮 and Latvia 🇱🇻 are participating in the tournament.
All of us at UNHCR stand in solidarity with our friends at @WFP who lost three colleagues in the brutal conflict that has erupted in Sudan. I strongly support @WFPChief’s appeal for humanitarian workers and all civilians to be protected, and for violence to cease immediately.
Dabaab in Kenya is home to one of Africa's largest refugee camps. Unearmarked funding from🇳🇴 makes it possible for UNHCR to react to protracted situations & emergencies and provide:
