“If solidarity was the defining value of 2015, sustaining it must be the call of 2025.” #10years10voices

Read the op-ed by UNHCR’s Rep @mariaclaram1, published in @ta_nea as part of a feature marking 10 years since the refugee emergency in 2015.

Kως-Ιούνιος 2015. Δύο αγόρια από το Αφγανιστάν περιμένουν στο εγκαταλελειμμένο ξενοδοχείο Captain Elias, όπου μένουν προσωρινά όσοι φτάνουν στο νησί.

10 χρονιά μετά, οι οικογένειες των προσφύγων έχουν όλο & λιγότερες ευκαιρίες να βρουν προστασία με ασφαλή τρόπο. #10years10photos

Nothing good can come from fresh tensions and clashes along the Afghan/Pakistani border - a fragile frontier, theatre of conflict, forced displacement and humanitarian crises for decades. For the sake of those impacted and of regional stability let’s hope for rapid de-escalation.

[Le HCR en France @UNHCRfrance]

Une paix durable dans quelques régions clés suffirait à réduire de moitié le nombre de réfugiés.

Un rappel en cette journée internationale de la non-violence.

“This is crisis on top of crisis.”

We’re on the ground delivering life-saving assistance to Afghans returning from Pakistan - many under duress - and now facing the aftermath of a powerful earthquake.

Refugee → Entrepreneur

From fleeing war in Iraq to becoming an entrepreneur in Greece. 🙌

Hamza’s journey proves that when given the opportunity, refugees can thrive and give back to their communities.

“Restrictive measures alone won’t stop people from moving — they may delay or divert it, but don’t address why people flee.”

These aren’t just budget cuts.

They’re lifelines being pulled from millions of people forced to flee.

This is the real impact of funding cuts.

Serious concern over Greece’s legislative amendment suspending for 3 months asylum applications from those arriving by boat from N. Africa.

Greece has a long tradition of offering protection to people fleeing war & persecution. That tradition must be upheld.

Due to today’s wildfire on Chios, the Vial reception centre for asylum-seekers was evacuated as a precaution.

UNHCR is on the ground with partners, supporting the Greek authorities & standing ready to assist further.

Our thoughts are with all affected.
