I join those calling for a ceasefire in Gaza: killing civilians and bombing hospitals won’t lead to real peace, which is the only true guarantee of safety and security for all Israelis and all Palestinians.
It will bring more war, more destruction, more fear to both, and beyond.

Today, we are launching two plans to help people across Ukraine and beyond – including funds to boost medicine & health supplies, safe drinking water, shelter & protection.
I urge the international community to respond to these life-saving appeals. https://t.co/h7n7UshBxA
The people of Afghanistan face one of the world’s most rapidly growing humanitarian crises.
Today, we presented our plan to help 22 million people in the country, and 5.7 million people in need of help beyond its borders.
I urge world leaders to take action & fund our efforts.
I listen to stories told by people in North Kivu: about armed men who kill and rape; the weak state response; a justice system which favours the corrupt; forced displacement increasing.
Security of civilians must be the priority of the new Congolese government!

At least 30 people have been killed in an attack to a school in Kabul.
20 years ago the world rallied to help Afghanistan emerge from decades of war.
20 years later, civilians — students, women, minorities — are still the target of violence.
Are we leaving Afghans alone again?

We at UNHCR are deeply saddened at the loss of life and immense suffering caused by the fire in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh.
We are rushing to respond and support the government’s efforts. Grateful to all involved in the rescue and relief efforts, including many refugee volunteers.
Even as women have played critical roles during #COVID19, we have seen a roll-back in hard-won advances in women’s rights.
It is time to build an equal future. This is job for everyone – and for the benefit of everyone. #InternationalWomensDay
#InternationalWomensDay is a time to
✔️challenge gender norms,
✔️empower each other,
✔️celebrate diversity,
✔️break stereotypes,
✔️reject the binary,
✔️mobilize and
✔️take action.
It’s time for #GenerationEquality! #IWD2021
There can be no social or climate justice without gender equality. On #InternationalWomensDay we highlight that women still aren't treated as equal to men.
The fight hasn't yet been won. So save your celebrations and congrats and support women on frontlines of society worldwide.
Refugee women are leading, building, and rebuilding the world.
We must support their leadership and work harder, every day, to realise true gender equality.

“I am very worried for the safety and well-being of Eritrean refugees in those camps. They have been without any aid for many weeks.” Says UNHCR High Commissioner. https://t.co/GP0SmjWBR8
