The Trump administration’s decision to pause or cut funding has put significant pressure on critical humanitarian aid. @FilippoGrandi tells me about the impact on @Refugees’ work and how he believes lives are being impacted or even lost.

UNHCR’s office in Canberra, Australia, promotes refugee rights in all of these countries.

The Refugee Convention is the cornerstone of the international refugee protection regime and remains a life-saving instrument that ensures millions of people fleeing conflict and persecution each year can access safety and protection across borders.

Heard poignant stories from #refugees and #Sudanese forcibly displaced from #Khartoum, due to the ongoing conflict. Communities & families hosting them in #Gedaref & #WadMadani are overwhelmed. They need urgent support, cessation of hostilities & #Peace.

[Adrian Edwards 🌍 @AdrianEdwrds]

Very welcome to see Australia stepping forward with a much-needed increase in #resettlement places for #refugees.

It's more important than ever that refugees have solutions available. Vital for refugees. Vital for host countries. Better for our world.

More than 1.5 million refugees from Ukraine have crossed into neighbouring countries in 10 days — the fastest growing refugee crisis in Europe since World War II.

[UNHCR Asia-Pacific @UNHCRAsia]

Afghanistan is spiralling into the worst humanitarian crisis in the world.

Life-saving support is needed before it is too late.

On 24 December two @save_children staff members were murdered in Myanmar with other civilians.

On 28 December UNHCR confirmed that a staff member was killed in Ethiopia.

As many worldwide pause for holidays, these are tragic reminders that wars and violence never stop killing.
