They once stood as children whose lives were shaped by displacement.

Today, they stand together at the highest level of the game.

UNHCR’s Gamechanging Team ahead of the 2026 #FIFAWorldCup shows what’s possible when children forced to flee are given safety and opportunity.

The UN has been here eight decades. We’re sticking around.

I saw how refugees have access to healthcare, education, and play an active part in society benefiting the whole community.

This is how we move from aid dependency to self-reliance.

Kenya is doing its part. It needs greater international support.

[UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency @Refugees]

It’s official!

@BarhamSalih, former President of Iraq, has been elected as the next High Commissioner for Refugees.

Having been a refugee himself, he brings powerful lived experience to lead UNHCR.

We’re excited to welcome him soon. 💙

Suffering. Instability. Lives lost.

This is the impact of brutal funding cuts on refugees.

Now is the time for solidarity, not retreat.

[Filippo Grandi @FilippoGrandi]

Media are largely silent on this topic.

Nobody mentions it in political debates.

Millions of lives worldwide are being affected by brutal cuts in international aid.

Soon we will see more people die unnecessarily, children go hungry, and many move on, desperately seeking help.

Every third person in #Sudan has been uprooted by war.

Behind these numbers are real people—mothers, children, students—who need our continued support.

Their strength endures, but they cannot do it alone.

[Mark Manly @MarkManly]

UNHCR is very good at delivering basic household items quickly to people fleeing conflict and violence. But these relief items come at an environmental cost.

Working with @ifrc & @ICRC, @refugees is introducing greener emergency items.

Target: 20% drop in CO₂ by 2025.

She’s a sister in every sense of the word: a carer, protector and someone you want on your side.

We are incredibly honoured to recognize Sister Rosita Milesi as this year’s #NansenAward Global Laureate for her extraordinary service to people forced to flee.

At the Lebanese Syrian borders today, a stark reminder on who bears the brunt of any conflict.

[Filippo Grandi @FilippoGrandi]

Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon are now relentlessly claiming hundreds of civilian lives.

And I am very saddened to confirm that two UNHCR colleagues were also killed yesterday.

On behalf of all us at UNHCR, heartfelt condolences to their families, friends and colleagues.

When peace returns, refugees return.
There is no refugee crisis. There’s a political crisis – over and over again.
We’re calling for peace so refugees can get what most truly want: the chance to return home.

[UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency @Refugees]

Millions of people around the world are denied the right to a nationality due to circumstances outside their control. Forced to live invisible lives and deprived of their rights.

But everyone has the right to a nationality.
Everyone has the right to say #IBelong.

@kirstyjmcneill Congratulations Kirsty! Fantastic news

We need a world where refugees are given a fair shot.
We need a world where refugees find solidarity.
We need a world where refugees are welcomed.

For #WorldRefugeeDay, UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador Cate Blanchett recites from Bob Dylan’s ‘Shelter from the Storm,’ capturing a spirit of welcome and mutual respect. Let’s create a world where all refugees are welcome. #WithRefugees

This year, for the 12th consecutive year, the number of refugees and displaced people has grown: from 114 to 120 million.

Behind these numbers lie as many human tragedies, which only solidarity and concerted action can alleviate and solve.
