"A year of extremes. A year of contradictions. A year of loss and of grief...conflict, violence and abuses that displace millions" But there is hope, as "wars, too, shall end" High Commissioner Grandi's assessment of displacement over the past year: unhcr.org/news/speeches-…

When the conflict escalated in Lebanon 🇱🇧 flexible funding from our donors allowed us to deliver urgent relief to affected communities and the high number of people fleeing to Syria. As the situation deteriorates, this support is vital as we await new contributions. Thank you

Adre, Chad is a border town of 40,000 that now hosts 230,000 new arrivals from Sudan in a sprawling informal settlement. Refugees wait here to be relocated to sites with shelters and essential services, but more resources are urgently needed to respond to the growing numbers.

Unearmarked funding from top donors like Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs, Norway MFA, Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office, Denmark MFA 🇩🇰 and Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs 🇳🇱 is crucial for UNHCR to act immediately in emergencies. In Lebanon, this support ensures vital assistance and legal counselling reach those in need, right when they need it most.

No escape. Our report launched today at #COP29 shows 3/4 of the 120 million forcibly displaced people globally are in countries with high to extreme climate impacts. But these countries receive only a small % of climate financing. This must change. 🔗unhcr.org/media/no-escap…

UNHCR is very good at delivering basic household items quickly to people fleeing conflict and violence. But these relief items come at an environmental cost. Working with IFRC & ICRC, @refugees is introducing greener emergency items. Target: 20% drop in CO₂ by 2025.

Luxembourg 🇱🇺 has a longstanding tradition of welcoming refugees and has set an advanced model of support for UNHCR — from predictable funding to digital innovation and aligning humanitarian & development aid. This week’s exchanges reaffirmed how critical our partnership is.

From Sudan to Ukraine, Lebanon to Myanmar, DRC and beyond — crises without end. Our Global Appeal 2025 outlines how we aim to respond to the needs of displaced people and their hosts in the year ahead, and why your support has never been more crucial. 🔗bit.ly/4frzv0Z

Syria is at a crossroads between peace and war, freedom and lawlessness, prosperity and misery. For its refugees, the watershed is between repatriation and the continuation of exile. It all depends on a peaceful transition, respecting the lives and aspirations of all Syrians.
