In Lebanon, displacement and humanitarian needs remain high.

Thank you to our donors and partners, including flexible funding supporters, for working with @UNmigration to deliver practical assistance and protection, guided by dignity and shared responsibility.

Happy Easter!

[Amy Pope @IOMchief]

As Easter is observed across the world, I’m thinking of Christian communities in the Middle East and beyond marking Good Friday amid ongoing tension.

In Lebanon, I saw people working tirelessly to preserve dignity and stability.

Since 28 February, escalating conflict in the Islamic Republic of #Iran has disrupted civilian life. Movement data shows 400,000+ vehicles leaving major cities for safer areas.

Watch our Chief of Mission reporting from Tehran 👇

[Amy Pope @IOMchief]

Proud to share that IOM is now co‑leading the new Global Shelter, Land and Site Coordination Cluster.

This matters.

It brings vital support together so families caught in crisis can find safety faster and begin rebuilding their lives with dignity.

[Amy Pope @IOMchief]

Lent is a time to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what matters most.

For many, it is also a moment to extend compassion and stand with those facing uncertainty.

May this season remind us of the power of small acts of kindness.

Dear @FilippoGrandi - the world is a better place because of you. Grateful for your leadership, advocacy and partnership.

A few weeks before the end of my UNHCR tenure I am where I started working as a UNHCR field officer 38 years ago — Sudan, which is going through the worst humanitarian and refugee crisis worldwide. Here not only to close a loop but also to call for peace, attention and resources.

[Amy Pope @IOMchief]

I came to Sudan to listen.

At Al Afad camp, I met families who fled Al Fasher. A mother who lost her husband and children. Girls just nine years old now displaced and traumatized.

30M people need aid. 10M are displaced. Sudan’s crisis is deepening. The world must not look away.

[Amy Pope @IOMchief]

From hospitals to orphanages, this week in Sudan showed what’s at stake, and what’s possible when we work together.

@UNmigration and partners are delivering humanitarian support, but also investing in durable solutions for #Sudan.

Recovery is a shared responsibility.

[Amy Pope @IOMchief]

Hurricane Melissa has torn through Jamaica, Cuba, Haiti, and Dominican Republic, leaving homes destroyed, communities flooded, and lives lost.

IOM teams are on the ground across the Caribbean, delivering aid and supporting those hardest hit.

We’re acting fast to protect lives.

[Sylvia Ekra @LopezEkra]

At last week's #ARF2025, one thing stayed with me.

For every $1 invested in prevention, we save $16 in crisis response.

That's not just money. It's lives changed.

We have the tools and evidence, now we need the courage to choose prevention over firefighting.

[Amy Pope @IOMchief]

It was a true privilege to meet His Holiness Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex.

We spoke of solidarity, dignity, and the urgent need to save lives.

Every life lost is a call to act, with compassion and courage.

[Mohammed Abdiker @AbdikerM]

Just wrapped up an important visit to Côte d’Ivoire.

Amid today’s challenges, I was reminded that resilience is possible when we work together and scale up peace-positive investments in prevention.

The road to lasting stability is built on collective action.

[Amy Pope @IOMchief]

Grateful for the tireless dedication of the Italian @guardiacostiera.

Their courage and humanity at sea save lives every day.

At @UNMigration, we are proud to partner with them to keep life-saving at the core of our mission.

[Amy Pope @IOMchief]

At @GlblCtzn, we joined forces with the private sector to deliver:
🌱 Farming tools & training for displaced families in Sub-Saharan Africa
💳 Financial access for migrants & diaspora
When business steps up, we unlock solutions. Migration becomes safer & a driver of opportunity.

[IOM - UN Migration 🇺🇳 @UNmigration]

Migration is central to security, development & human rights. This week, we bring the voices of those on the move to the heart of the global agenda.

At #UNGA80, IOM is calling for collective solutions, grounded in data, shaped by partnerships, and driven by dignity.

[IOM - UN Migration 🇺🇳 @UNmigration]

Over half a million Afghans were displaced or forced to migrate within and beyond the country due to climate shocks and environmental hazards between Jan and Mar 2025.

@DTM_IOM has mapped climate vulnerability in every village across #Afghanistan in a first-of-its-kind study.

[IOM - UN Migration 🇺🇳 @UNmigration]

We know what’s needed. We are ready to respond.

With access, IOM supplies are ready to go.

Let aid in. #Gaza

[IOM - UN Migration 🇺🇳 @UNmigration]

IOM is ready to respond #Gaza.

Lives can be saved and dignity restored.

Let aid in. Let humanitarian agencies do their job.

[IOM Malawi @IOMMalawi]

On #WDATIP 2025, IOM Goodwill Ambassador Paul Choy shares a powerful message from the Chiponde Malawi/Mozambique border, highlighting IOM’s efforts to combat human trafficking across the region. #EndHumanTrafficking

[Amy Pope @IOMchief]

The desert, the sea, the fear. Sennait survived them all and found hope at @UNmigration’s centre in Sana’a.

Her story reminds us why protection matters and why no one should face this journey alone.
