High Commissioner @BarhamSalih met with @Morocco_UNOG's Ambassador Omar Zniber.
They discussed regional displacement challenges, Morocco’s longstanding engagement with UNHCR, and the importance of continued cooperation in support of protection and solutions for displaced people.
Asante sana, Kenya! I was inspired by the people I met here.
Refugee inclusion and finding solutions are core to protecting refugees. Kenya is leading the way.
Thank you to the UNHCR team on the ground here, who every day devote their lives to delivering our mission.
High Commissioner @BarhamSalih visited #Farchana, #Chad, during his first official mission.
There, he underscored the need for humanitarian assistance and protection for people fleeing war in Sudan and for greater support so refugees can rebuild their lives with dignity.
In Burundi, funding cuts have suspended nutrition programmes.
🔴Thousands of children may go untreated for malnutrition.
🔴10K pregnant women could lose care.
🔴Public clinics are already overwhelmed—and cholera is spreading.
This is the cost of inaction.

When we turn to our closest allies, Japan is there, standing firm in supporting us to respond to refugee needs worldwide.
Today’s exchange with Mr. AKAHORI Takeshi @MofaJapan_en reaffirmed Japan's commitment to humanitarian action & to UNHCR’s role in these collective efforts.🙏🏼
The scenes from Myanmar are shocking. Regions that host almost half of the displaced people in the country are reeling from last week’s earthquake.
UNHCR is on the ground delivering life-saving aid. With more funds we can save more lives. https://t.co/KGovrT4TCu
Emergency support from @DanishMFA 🇩🇰 & @Irish_Aid 🇮🇪 made it possible to mobilize urgent relief for thousands of Myanmar earthquake survivors.
As @UNHCRMyanmar assess needs, shelter & basic services remain top priorities.
Fast, flexible funding means fast, effective responses.
This year marks the 80th anniversary of the @UN .
Eight decades after its founding, amid the profound challenges facing our world today, the UN remains the essential, one-of-a-kind meeting ground to advance peace, prosperity, and human rights.

“The UN has never been more needed.
Our values have never been more relevant.
And the needs have never been greater.”
@antonioguterres on the UN’s essential work to advance peace, sustainable development & human rights.
It’s already happening.
Funding cuts have closed nutrition services in 4 out of 7 refugee sites in Ethiopia
80,000 children under 5 are at risk of severe malnutrition.
This is preventable. Funding saves lives.
Important discussion with @Refugees’s on the need to assist the most vulnerable, respond to emergencies, and deliver durable solutions for refugee populations. It’s now more crucial than ever to support UNHCR’s lifesaving work. Thank you @FilippoGrandi. Looking forward to his participation in the upcoming @UNECOSOC Special Meeting on Forced Displacement and Refugee Protection on 24 April.
🚨 Just weeks ago, WFP warned of looming ration cuts for Rohingya refugees. Thanks to our donors & partners, we’ve averted the crisis!
We thank them for standing #withrefugees. 🙏
