Happy to welcome Amy Pope and colleagues from across the region over the coming 3 days as we take stock of our achievements, chart a way forward for the next 5 years on how to deliver on our mandate and make migration work for all.

Looking forward to very fruitful discussions!

It has been a year since the war started and the people of #Sudan have seen enough. It is our responsibility to take action before it is too late.
 
A message by Othman Belbeisi Regional Director of IOM MENA on the one-year mark of war in Sudan.

The Security Council just approved a long-awaited resolution on Gaza, demanding an immediate ceasefire, and the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages.

This resolution must be implemented. Failure would be unforgivable.

On this #IWD2024 , let us acknowledge the plight of women in the MENA region, let us offer our utmost respect and appreciation to their strength and resilience, their determination inspires us all. Let's commit to #InvestInWomen , in their well-being and empowerment.

We had the pleasure of welcoming Ugochi Daniels on her visit to Lebanon and Jordan, meeting with various partners, migrants and IOM staff. The visit affirmed our commitment to support both countries and our dedication to serving migrants and host communities.

I had the pleasure to welcome Sudan's Ambassador to Egypt H.E Mohamed Abdallah Eltom to discuss the current urgent needs & expanding humanitarian reach. Full unhindered humanitarian access is vital to deliver life-saving aid. IOM is committed to stay & deliver in Sudan.

We cannot abandon the people of #Gaza .

Allegations of involvement of several UNRWA staff in the heinous attacks on Israel, 7 Oct are horrifying.

However, we mustn't prevent the organization to serve people in desperate need.

It’s Day 100 & we haven’t stopped moving!

Since Day 1, we engaged migrants, Member States & staff to help vulnerable communities, drive solutions to climate change & displacement issues, and facilitate more regular pathways.

Together, we can realize the promise of migration.

Wishing everyone a warm and peaceful holiday season, where the spirit of generosity embraces everyone, especially those who may be far from home and in vulnerable circumstances. May the light of compassion shine bright during this festive time.

The shipwreck that claimed the lives of 61 migrants off the coast of Libya on Saturday is beyond heartbreaking.

This tragedy further highlights the risks people take to improve their lives, and of our collective obligation to find safer pathways for all.

Ahmed* tells the story of his home, lost and destroyed in the conflict in #Gaza along with the homes of his loved ones.

He is one of 1.9 million people who have been displaced in #Gaza . They need food, water, medicine but most importantly protection.

#CeasfireNow

Time is running out for #Gaza . Urgent need for a ceasefire to save lives and deliver crucial aid.

IOM - UN Migration 🇺🇳 stands with UN officials in sounding the alarm on the humanitarian catastrophe.

Action needed now. #Gaza Ceasefire

I echo António Guterres call for lasting and immediate humanitarian ceasefire in #Gaza .

The people of Gaza must have immediate access to safe shelter, medical care, food, hygiene and sanitation facilities and ensure that family members are not separated.

Pleased to have spent past couple of days in #Cairo & #Jordan . I was inspired meeting and listening to staff in the MENA region.

I’ve discussed the pressing need to scale up our humanitarian emergency response in #Gaza to meet the mounting needs of those directly impacted.
