The men and women of UNIFIL are working to give our diplomatic efforts a fighting chance. "You are not just on the #BlueLine in Lebanon, you are literally on the front line of peace." Secretary-General António Guterres' solidarity message to UN Peacekeeping in Lebanon:

Never has the United Nations been so much under political, moral and even physical attack. Yet, where else can a divided world find space to talk? We must preserve it, difficult as it is. #UNDay 🇺🇳

I am deeply disappointed that various western governments and diplomats appear to have been misled by spurious, recycled allegations against me, just as I prepare to present my latest report to the #UNGA next week. I am profoundly committed to human rights for all people - how

If implemented, the laws adopted today by the Knesset of Israel would likely prevent UNRWA from continuing its essential work in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, with devastating consequences for Palestine refugees. I call on Israel to act consistently with its obligations

I join António Guterres in calling for UNRWA’s work in the occupied Palestinian territory to continue. Otherwise millions of Palestinians will be deprived of vital support — including education and health services — which only UNRWA has the mandate and capacity to deliver.

We the leaders of 15 United Nations and humanitarian organizations urge, yet again, all parties fighting in #Gaza to protect civilians, and call on the State of #Israel to cease its assault on Gaza & on the humanitarians trying to help Statement #IASC Principals 👉 bit.ly/40pLGqx

A new Israeli airstrike hit the border post of Joussieh, where many Lebanese and Syrians cross from Lebanon to Syria. Humanitarian structures were also struck. Even fleeing (and taking care of those who flee) are becoming difficult and dangerous as the war continues to spreads.

I am so profoundly touched by this expression of support from Jewish organisations worldwide. The minions out there will be livid. Let's stay strong, altogether.

The number of Syrians forced to flee because of the fighting in Aleppo and beyond is growing rapidly and has now reached 150,000 in less than a week. And it will unfortunately very likely continue to rise. The blankets, mattresses and water our partners and us are giving them

In a matter of days, the map of Syria has largely been redrawn. Many frontlines that existed for years have now given way to open access - something very hard to imagine even just weeks ago. UNHCR is already seizing the new opportunities brought about by this dramatic change in

📢Excitement in the air! At the University of Bangui, 29 Sudanese refugee students arrived from Korsi for an immersive French language program, paving the way for their university education in CAR! 🎓 With the support of Mastercard Foundation, they're stepping toward a brighter future!

The Trump administration’s decision to pause or cut funding has put significant pressure on critical humanitarian aid. Filippo Grandi tells me about the impact on UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency’ work and how he believes lives are being impacted or even lost.

For a number of years, UNHCR Syria has supported 122 community centres across Syria, which provide vital services to vulnerable Syrians, including returning refugees. As a result of the funding crisis we are currently facing, many of these centers will be closing in the next

It’s been an awful, awful weekend. Civilians were killed again in Ukraine, Gaza, Darfur — in open violation of the laws of war. This is now so frequent that the world pays no attention. But if we allow this to continue, our planet will become a very dangerous place — for all.

No better way to spend UNHCR’s 75th anniversary than exchanging with 300 refugees and displaced people taking part in the Global Refugee Forum review together with states, public and private partners, civil society. 75 years old and able to respond, rally and renew. #UNHCR

🗣️ “The intersection of disability & displacement creates some of the most profound barriers faced by any group in humanitarian settings” UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency stands with the Global Network of Refugees with Disabilities to advance disability inclusion by partnering with OPDs at all levels.

After more than 10 years, I had the pleasure of reconnecting with Nyakuma —an incredible peace advocate I worked with at Nonviolent Peaceforce (inactive) South Sudan —during the #GRFProgressReview. Her leadership and dedication continue to inspire! UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency #MeaningfulParticipation #CBP #NP4Lyfe

I welcome the election by the General Assembly of Barham Salih of Iraq, as the next United Nations High Commissioner for UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency. My utmost gratitude to Filippo Grandi for his leadership & tireless efforts in protecting refugees, displaced persons & stateless people.

I very warmly welcome the election of Barham Salih as the next United Nations High Commissioner for refugees and wish him and UNHCR all the very best!

Honoured to meet President Zelenskyy this evening. We discussed UNHCR’s support for Ukrainians enduring another harsh winter amid relentless war and attacks on civilian infrastructure, and the need for sustainable recovery—rebuilding lives, restoring hope and creating opportunity
