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…

Bangladesh, UNHCR and IOM - UN Migration 🇺🇳 have launched a US$935m programme to help #Rohingya refugees and their Bangladeshi hosts in 2025. We explained that aid cuts will endanger lives. We reaffirmed the need to create conditions for the safe, voluntary return of refugees to Myanmar.

I was asked, do small contributions count. I answered: nothing is more powerful than crowd funding. This is the philosophy behind the Refugee Zakat Fund. Nothing is too small when collected with others. A million dollars starts with one. Zakat.unhcr.org

Don't cut aid! Tragically we have to emphasise this. Rohingya are a stateless and refugee population hosted in a country dealing with its on severe pressures. Aid is life here!

Over 50% of the ppl in Rohingya refugee camps are women& girls, facing higher risk of gender-based violence & exploitation. Without access to education, there is no future. We call on the int'l community & thank you for your support. Those girls need your support more than ever

Today's earthquake is yet another disaster for the people of Myanmar, who have already been suffering since the military coup launched four years ago. A strong international response is imperative to get aid to the many who were in the cross-hairs of this terrible quake.

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

Bangladesh’s refugee healthcare services are on the brink. ❌ Mothers are losing access to safe deliveries ❌ Children are left without treatment for malnutrition ❌ Life-threatening conditions are going untreated Ensuring refugees’ health = saving lives & protecting futures.

Another fire causes damage to already scanty refugee livelihoods in Rohingya refugee camps in Cox'sBazar. We await rains, but with them come floods and mudslides

He built a farm. A business. A future for his kids. Then war took everything. Idris is 1 of nearly 13 million Sudanese forced to flee. Sudan is tired. Its people deserve peace, not just survival. Don’t look away. #KeepEyesOnSudan

The Security Council owes to Humanity to not only end wars, persecution and forced displacement BUT also the imperative to provide humanitarian Aid to those fleeing and those providing refuge
