[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

I am gravely alarmed by the use of force by the United States against Iran today. This is a dangerous escalation in a region already on the edge – and a direct threat to international peace and security.

There is a growing risk that this conflict could rapidly get out of control – with catastrophic consequences for civilians, the region, and the world.

I call on Member States to de-escalate and to uphold their obligations under the @UN Charter and other rules of international law.

At this perilous hour, it is critical to avoid a spiral of chaos.

There is no military solution. 
The only path forward is diplomacy. 
The only hope is peace.

Being born a woman should not be a barrier. Yet, from legal discrimination to economic inequality, millions of
women and girls face systemic exclusion and violence every day. #8M2025

In February 2022, millions of people were forced to make an impossible choice— to leave behind their homes, their families, their entire lives — without knowing what the future would hold. It has been 3 years of loss, but also of resilience.

[Monica Vazquez @MoniVazquez]

Couldn't ask for better partners! UNHCR Moldova is so grateful for the support provided by its donors. Thanks for making a change in refugees's lives.

All children have the right to laugh, learn and be protected. This week, I planted some flowers next to kindergarten students during an activity organized by IOM and UNHCR Moldova.

Tonight, alongside the National Congress of Ukrainians in Moldova, the diplomatic community, and our colleagues and friends, we light candles to remember Holodomor, a tragic chapter in history. Let's honor the resilience of the Ukrainian and the Moldovan people.

Together with Robyn Prinz from @StatePRM and UNAIDS, we learned how civil society is breaking stigma and supporting those living with HIV in Moldova. So positive to see how everyone, including refugees, have access to services and treatment.

Winter is coming, and UNHCR Moldova is ready to support refugees and vulnerable host communities by distributing warm blankets, quilts, solar lamps, and hygiene products.

In a cultural exchange, today at UNHCR Moldova, we celebrated #DiaDeLosMuertos by remembering family and friends, humanitarians, and those who have lost their lives in war.

Proud that the people of Moldova have been recognised with @Refugees Nansen Award. 

The solidarity and compassion we, as a country, demonstrated in welcoming our Ukrainian neighbours fleeing death and destruction is a testament to the strength and generosity of our people.

[UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency @Refugees]

We are in absolute awe of UNHCR supporter Valentina Naforniţa’s beautiful and powerful performance at this year’s #NansenAward ceremony. @VNafornita

[Monica Vazquez @MoniVazquez]

Congratulations to the people of Moldova! This is for every hour you volunteered, for all the borscht cooked, the sleepless nights... for receiving refugees the way you would receive a friend.

[Blanc Bertrand @BertrandUNHCR]

Since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Moldovans opened their hearts and homes to over a million refugees. The People of Moldova receive an Honourable Mention for their remarkable humanitarian efforts in the 2024 UNHCR Nansen Refugee Award: https://t.co/PEUQE1S8E9

More than 50,000 Lebanese and Syrians living in Lebanon have now crossed into Syria fleeing Israeli airstrikes. Well over 200,000 are displaced inside Lebanon.

Relief operations are underway, including by UNHCR, to help all those in need, in coordination with both governments.

An end to the hostilities in Lebanon is urgently needed.

We honour the humanitarians who lost their luves whike serving others.
