Civilians across the region are once again paying the price of relentless conflict. In 1 week, millions of lives were upended, tens of thousands displaced, and many more in distress. IOM is scaling up emergency response with partners.

Ceasefire now. Civilians must be protected.

Sudan is facing the largest displacement crisis in the world.

More than 15 million people have been forced from their homes, with children making up over half of the displaced.

Displacement must not become destiny. Sudan needs urgent, sustained action—now.

IOM thanks the Government and people of the Republic of Korea for their continued partnership and solidarity in addressing global migration and humanitarian challenges.

We look forward to deepening our cooperation toward a more inclusive and sustainable future.

In Sudan, the scale of suffering is staggering: 10M people displaced, women and girls subjected to horrific violence.

The world cannot look away. We must act now to protect lives and dignity.

My message from Khartoum

[SungAh Lee @LeeSungAh_]

In Malakal and Bentiu, South Sudan, I met families who have endured conflict, displacement, and floods. Their strength is extraordinary.

With continued partnership and support, recovery can be safe, dignified, and lasting.

[SungAh Lee @LeeSungAh_]

In Unity State, South Sudan, proud to see @IOMSouthSudan and @SouthSudanGov advancing durable solutions.

By restoring land, providing durable shelter, clean water, and access to livelihoods and essential services, families can begin rebuilding after years of displacement.

Grateful for the support of the Republic of Korea 🇰🇷 in helping families in Viet Nam rebuild safer homes.

Partnerships like this help us not only achieve recovery but also invest in resilience to reduce loss and displacement from future disasters. #FundResilience

Every year, millions are displaced by disasters.

These losses are not inevitable. They depend on the choices we make today.

Let’s invest in resilience, not disasters. #DRRDay 🌍

Most people know Zakat supports the poor.

But did you know it is also meant for migrants on the move?

IOM Afghanistan Chief of Mission Miah Park is raising the alarm: #Afghanistan should not be forgotten.

The world’s attention is needed as multiple crises put millions at risk.

[IOM - UN Migration 🇺🇳 @UNmigration]

IOM, @WFP_Afghanistan, @UNFPAAfg & @NRC_Norway held a joint briefing on #Afghanistan’s humanitarian situation, calling for global support as the country faces multiple crises at once.

Without urgent aid and long-term solutions, families will be forced to take desperate measures.

What does starting over look like with nothing left?

In 2025, over 1.5 million Afghans returned from Iran, many with no home, no job, and no support.

These are not just numbers. They are families, futures, and untold stories.

Afghanistan must not be forgotten.

The country is already facing multiple crises: the return of 1.7 million Afghans, large-scale displacement, and economic hardship. Urgent support is needed now to prevent even greater suffering.
