This #WorldRefugeeDay is not business as usual.
Conflicts are escalating. Aid is shrinking. But one thing hasn’t changed: refugees need our solidarity to live in safety, with dignity and to rebuild their lives.
Let’s come together with refugees today and always.
🚀 Launch of the High-Level Committee on Resettlement and Humanitarian Admission!
As part of the EU #MigrationPact, the Committee will enhance safe pathways for those seeking protection in the EU and contribute to the biannual refugee admission plan.

Well over 30,000 Syrians and Lebanese have crossed into Syria in the past 72 hours. Emergencies are about responding swiftly to the basic needs of large crowds of people. But they are also, just as importantly, about those small, quiet moments of humanity and care. UNHCR staff…
We are outraged and deeply saddened by the killing of two beloved members of the UNHCR family and extend our deepest sympathies to their families.
The protection of civilians is a must, in line with obligations under international humanitarian law.

Travel documents are valuable for refugees, unlocking opportunities beyond travel.
Yet, so many refugees globally cannot access them.
This must change.
Thousands of Sudanese refugees are crossing into Libya, fleeing unimaginable hardship. UNHCR is providing aid, but the needs are immense. From medical supplies to blankets, we’re doing all we can, but your help is needed.

The power of education to shape lives is huge.
But we still see half of the world’s 15 million school-aged refugee children out of school.
We must do more to enable them to enroll and access quality education!

An amazing moment at the #Paris2024 Olympic Games #OpeningCeremony.

At the #Paris2024#OpeningCeremony, High Commissioner @FilippoGrandi was awarded the Olympic Laurel on behalf of UNHCR.
It’s a reminder that sport is more than a game. For refugees, it can be a light, a chance to heal or an opportunity to belong. bit.ly/4dk8xa0
Humbled and honoured to receive the“Olympic Laurel”
Award during the opening ceremony of the @Paris2024@Olympics.
I dedicate it to the women and men who — every day — must flee their homes because of war, persecution and violence.

Lighting the path with courage and perseverance 💫
UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador, Olympic athlete, former refugee and powerhouse Yusra Mardini proudly carried the Olympic flame 🔥.

As hostilities in Gaza intensify, I remain gravely concerned about further spillover of this conflict, which could have devastating consequences for the entire region.
I reiterate my call for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire & release of all hostages.
