Asylum is life-saving.
Forcibly displaced women and girls are facing unthinkable violence — and many are left without care.
Funding gaps mean fewer services, less protection and more lives in danger.
Survivors cannot wait. #16Days

Deadly attacks in Western Ukraine are a stark reminder that no part of the country is safe.

States should not refuse protection or assistance to Ukrainians on the basis that some parts of Ukraine are safe.

Inside Ukraine, UNHCR remains on the ground, helping the most affected.

Digital attacks on refugee women are growing.

Xenophobia and sexism are being amplified by misinformation.

It’s time to take a stand. Stand against online hate.

Violence doesn’t stop when funding does, it worsens.

In 2025, drastic cuts left millions of refugee women and girls without life-saving services.

Funding for gender-based violence programmes must be prioritized.

🔵 Fact: 2 in 3 refugees are hosted in neighbouring countries.

The vast majority of people who flee find safety close to home.

No part of Ukraine is safe.

The recent aerial strikes on Ternopil, Lviv, and Ivano-Frankivsk are among the deadliest in western Ukraine since the war began.

Every child deserves safety, learning and hope. That includes displaced children.

On #WorldChildrensDay, we stand with refugee and displaced children everywhere. Today, and every day, let’s make sure no child is left behind.

🚨A protection crisis is escalating fast in Sudan’s Darfur and Kordofan regions.

UNHCR warns thousands are fleeing violence—many for the second or third time—as conditions on the ground deteriorate rapidly.

Weather-related disasters are forcing people to flee their homes.

But did you know that over the last 10 years, there’s been an average of one new displacement every 1.5 seconds?

After escaping brutal fighting, families in Sudan are now running out of time.

Children are hungry, parents are desperate, and communities are cut off from aid.

They need protection, safety and humanitarian access. Now, not later.

From rebuilding lives to reshaping laws, refugees like Madiha are proof that with the right support, nothing is out of reach.

Resettlement and other pathways promise safety and unlock opportunities for refugees.

Millions of refugees face the harshest winter yet—with far less help.

Families in Syria, Afghanistan, Ukraine & beyond are bracing for sub-zero cold without basics like blankets, shelter or heating.

Support is running out.

Three in every four people forced to flee live in countries exposed to extreme weather.

High Commissioner @filippograndi.unhcr.org is at #COP30 to help ensure their voices are heard as the world searches for climate solutions.

A boat carrying up to 70 Rohingya refugees has capsized off the coast of Malaysia and Thailand.

At least 21 people—two of them teenage girls—are confirmed dead.

13 survived.

Dozens remain missing.

This is yet another avoidable tragedy at sea.

🚨 Extreme weather is colliding with conflict—forcing people to flee again and again.

A new @unhcr.org report reveals how floods, droughts, and deadly heat are undermining recovery, increasing humanitarian needs and amplifying the risks of repeated displacement. #COP30

Extreme weather can wreak unbelievable havoc.
Nobody knows this better than those forced to flee.
#COP30 must deliver solutions for those hardest hit.

Most are returning to Nigeria and the Central African Republic, offering hope after years of displacement.

Humanitarian workers must be allowed to reach people in urgent need across Sudan.

Civilians must never be targeted. Aid convoys must never be blocked.

Respect for international humanitarian law is an obligation, not an option.

Hurricane Melissa has devastated communities across the Caribbean, including Jamaica, Cuba, Haiti, the Dominican Republic and beyond bringing flooding, storm surge and winds.

We've distributed relief items to families in the Dominican Republic and stand ready to assist further.

🚨 UNHCR is deeply concerned as escalating, brutal violence in El Fasher (North Darfur) forces thousands to flee, while many remain trapped with few options.

Families are caught in the city after months of siege and continuous fighting.
October 28, 2025 at 12:45 PM
It’s been over two years since the war broke out in Sudan and created one of the worst humanitarian and displacement crises in the world.

The needs are as urgent today as ever.

The world must #KeepEyesOnSudan.
