Why do I think aid cuts will cost lives? Because we are already seeing it. This is the impact in Afghanistan: women cycling three hours to give birth, mines uncleared, babies dying.

U Mahkau and his family moved to a solution site, a type of durable settlement for those who are displaced for a long time. “Our spacious place truly feels like a real family home,” he says, full of joy. This is for him and many more that UNHCR and partners work.

Afghan refugees forced to return from Pakistan and Iran face an uncertain future. Many arrive in Afghanistan, a country already in crisis, with nothing. UNHCR Afghanistan is providing emergency aid, but funding is running out. We appeal for urgent support: unh.cr/665051340

🤝@UNHCR airlifted 80 tons of relief from Dubai to Yangon—reaching 37,000 displaced people in #Myanmar. This rapid response was made possible through the World Food Programme-managed #UNHRD logistics network. Thanks to EU Civil Protection & Humanitarian Aid 🇪🇺 and colleagues at @UNHCRSupply. Together, we deliver better.

More than 3.4 million Afghans have returned or been deported from Iran and Pakistan since 2023. Over 250,000 Afghans returned in adverse circumstances in the past month alone. UNHCR stresses: returns must be voluntary, safe and dignified.

More than 1 million Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh, including 75% of women and children, are almost entirely dependent on humanitarian aid.  Further funding shortfalls will have dire consequences. The world and the region need to step up. #RohingyaResponse2025

1 in 10 refugee children under 5 years are suffering from acute malnutrition, and almost 1 in 2 refugee children from micronutrient deficiencies. This is unacceptable - Donate now.

Millions have been forced to flee their homes due to conflict and persecution. For them, foreign aid is more than support — it's survival. Our staff see the impact of this aid first-hand, in every safe shelter, every warm meal and every life protected. #HumanitariansAtWork

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.

427 Rohingya people are reported dead in two tragic shipwrecks in the Indian Ocean —- a reminder of the desperate situation of discriminated Rohingya communities in Myanmar, and of the hardship faced by refugees in Bangladesh as humanitarian aid dwindles. unhcr.org/news/press-rel…
