Syrians are returning home, filled with hope to rebuild their lives. Yet, challenges remain. With 7.4M displaced inside Syria & 6M refugees worldwide, support is crucial. Our priorities: ➡️Informed decisions ➡️Voluntary returns ➡️Reintegration ➡️Collaboration

Every third person in #Sudan has been uprooted by war. Behind these numbers are real people—mothers, children, students—who need our continued support. Their strength endures, but they cannot do it alone.

Three years of war in #Ukraine . Three years of loss, resilience and courage. Millions remain displaced, families torn apart and lives forever changed. Our commitment endures—standing with those who have lost so much, but refuse to lose hope.

An appeal to European leaders from a lifetime humanitarian: as you discuss boosting defense spending please don’t overlook humanitarian aid, which faces devastating cuts. Aid, too, is about keeping your countries safe. Aid promotes stability. And a stable world is a safer world.

Media are largely silent on this topic. Nobody mentions it in political debates. Millions of lives worldwide are being affected by brutal cuts in international aid. Soon we will see more people die unnecessarily, children go hungry, and many move on, desperately seeking help.

When we turn to our closest allies, Japan is there, standing firm in supporting us to respond to refugee needs worldwide. Today’s exchange with Mr. AKAHORI Takeshi MOFA of Japan reaffirmed Japan's commitment to humanitarian action & to UNHCR’s role in these collective efforts.🙏🏼

For 14 years, millions of Syrians have been displaced—most of them still unable to return home. With 1M+ already returning, we face a critical moment: Will we invest in stability and opportunity in Syria, or risk further displacement? The choice is ours. unhcr.org/news/speeches-…

1 million+ Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh remain in limbo after 8 years, living in the world’s most congested camps. Their needs are as urgent as ever. Robust global support for #RohingyaResponse2025 is key to sustaining hope and dignity. unhcr.org/news/press-rel…

The scenes from Myanmar are shocking. Regions that host almost half of the displaced people in the country are reeling from last week’s earthquake. UNHCR is on the ground delivering life-saving aid. With more funds we can save more lives. unh.cr/67e6cdc29

May you rest in peace, Pope Francis. You stood up and spoke out — relentlessly — for the poor, the persecuted, the victims of war, the refugees, the migrants. May you continue to give us faith and courage in this brutal world. Pope Francis
