Great visit to #Moussoro Amazing to see innovative projects in action and feel such a warm welcome. Big thanks to local authorities for their support to IOM initiatives.

☀️À Moussoro, notre bureau fonctionne désormais entièrement à l'énergie solaire.

Une énergie propre qui réduit les émissions de notre réponse humanitaire, dans une région déjà en première ligne face au changement climatique.

Insightful days in Lac Province on a government-led mission headed by Minister @ZaraMahamatiss. Grateful for the collaboration and shared commitment to supporting affected communities.

Three years later, the #Sudan crisis reminds us displacement doesn't end at the border.

In #Chad, IOM has stood by 367K+ people with vital assistance.

But as the crisis continues, we must move beyond emergency aid to invest in peace & stability.

Honored to step into the role of Chief of Mission with @IOM_Chad! Chad plays a pivotal role in the region. I’m committed to advancing lasting solutions, fostering partnerships, and enhancing resilience. I'm excited for the journey ahead and the impact we’ll create together!

[UN SG's High-Level Panel on Internal Displacement @IDPs_Panel]

One month since UN Chief @AntionioGuterres launched the @IDPs_Panel, persisting conflicts and the global pandemic now upon us are highlighting ever more acutely the vulnerabilities, challenges, and risks facing the tens of millions of people who are internally displaced

[Eugenio Ambrosi @AmbrosiEugenio]

In 2015 IOM relocated to Germany 1000 Yazidi women victims of violence at the hands of ISIS, so they could receive proper care. Among them, Nada Murad, the 2018 Nobel Peace Award laureate. Our deepest congratulations to Nada for an extraordinary path of resilience.

This October marks the 5-year anniversary of the #Lampedusa shipwrecks, in which more than 600 migrants were lost at sea.

Since then, @MissingMigrants has recorded nearly 15,000 deaths in the Central Mediterranean.

Unique opportunity to give @EUAmbIraq a tour of @UNmigration's projects in #Basra #Iraq, including employment support for youth and Community Policing Forum which contributes to local stability and security. #Together 🇮🇶🤝🇪🇺

I am proud to join the @UNmigration family today, and I believe that there has never been a more exciting or challenging time to work in the field of migration.

[IOM Iraq @IOMIraq]

Excited to accompany #German Ambassador to #Iraq & @AuswaertigesAmt’s Consul Gen in KRI to Al-Salam Hospital in EastMosul. Our long-standing partnership w Germany was critical to restoring lifesaving & life-sustaining health services at this public 🏥. #DankeDeutschland #Together

Visit to #Mosul #Iraq today with @CanadainIraq. Focus group with #Moslawi women and visit to the Waladi Textile Factory, employing 1,200 people, partially rehabilitated by @IOMIraq, @UNmigration. A lot already done, a lot more to do to get #Mosulbackinbusiness

On 12 November 2017 the #IranIraq #Border was shaken by a #magnitude 7.3 #eartquake. Today @UNmigration @IOMIraq handed over to #KRG Ministry of Health, Rekawt H. Rasheed and the Governor of #Sulaymaniyah Haval Abubakir the refurbished New Halabja Hospital, funded by @kuwait

[Giovanni Cassani @CassaniGio]

Participated yesterday to the opening of the auditorium at #Arbat Public Library #Sulaymaniyah #Iraq, renovated by @IOMIraq @UNmigration with funding @StatePRM @StateDept The theater piece presented on stage on #Socialcohesion was very touching. Caused many to cry in the audience

[NRC Middle East & North Africa @NRC_MiddleEast]

This is #Sinjar today, almost 3 years after being retaken from the IS group. Our team there says that #Iraq'is who returned urgently need #education and psychosocial support. @NRC_Norway will be opening a community center to empower #youth, provide education services & legal aid.
