Devastating earthquakes have struck Afghanistan, claiming lives and flattening entire villages. ➡️ Here’s what you need to know. ➡️

With a little help from Ben Stiller @GuguMbathaRaw @MaryMaker_43 @DaveMorrissey64 and Cate Blanchett... A glimpse of #WhatYouNeedToBeWarm, a new book from @NeilHimself, published today in support of refugees facing the bitter cold this winter. Order now: unhcr.org/keepwarm

It began right here. On what was once called Twitter... A poem created with ideas crowdsourced by Neil Gaiman's followers. And now a true work of art! Order @NeilHimself's new book #WhatYouNeedToBeWarm and help raise funds for refugees: unhcr.org/keepwarm

The Israeli bombing of the Jabalia refugee camp is horrific and unacceptable. Thousands, many children, are dead in Gaza and the numbers are likely to climb. It is past time for a ceasefire, so that humanitarian aid and relief can reach Palestinians trapped inside Gaza.

As Pakistan deports undocumented Afghans, I am worried about the children who face abuse, exploitation, & violence. Their future in Afghanistan, which many have never seen and where almost 30M need aid, is grim. Vulnerable Afghans must not be returned to unsafe conditions.

My message from Gaza today:

This is the tragic state of women’s rights in Afghanistan. bbc.co.uk/news/world-asi…

Highly recommend this amazing film, “The Sharp Edge of Peace,” by Roya Sadat, about a team of Afghan women who attempt to strike a peace deal with the Taliban.

Catastrophic flooding in Afghanistan is among climate emergencies that have been destroying lives around the world. Disasters like this will only become more common. The #ClimateCrisis not only triggers new displacements, but also makes life harder for displaced people.

🚨 Devastating floods in northern Afghanistan have killed many and left thousands homeless. Urgent needs include shelter, medical supplies, food and clean water. UNHCR Afghanistan is on the ground with partners, delivering emergency supplies, but more support is needed.

📹 Video: UNHCR help has reached people in this flood-hit village in Baghlan, north-eastern Afghanistan, but more support is urgently needed.

The carnage in Gaza continues. How many more Palestinian women and children have to die? #CeasefireNow

For #WorldRefugeeDay, Khaled Hosseini reads "Treasure" by Georgia Douglas Johnson. Words of Welcome remind us of our shared responsibility to support those uprooted from their homes. Let's create a world where refugees are always welcome. #WithRefugees

For #WorldRefugeeDay, I am reading this poem for UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency by Georgia Douglas Johnson called ‘Treasure.’ In these trying times, Words of Welcome are a reminder of the responsibility we all bear in supporting refugees. #WithRefugees

Best of luck to Afghan swimmer Abbas Karimi, a refugee who is now competing in the Paris Olympics. Abbas is a true inspiration and a hero.
