IOM - UN Migration 🇺🇳

Over one million people are now displaced in #Lebanon as the humanitarian situation worsens across the region. Needs are rising fast, and IOM has launched an appeal to scale up assistance for displaced communities, including migrants. Learn more 👉 iom.int/ZWL

Home is where a sense of belonging allows happiness to grow. For millions on the move, finding a place to belong can change everything. This #HappinessDay and every day, IOM supports migrants and displaced communities to find safety, peace, and opportunities again.

1960 IOM successfully assisted 1 million migrants worldwide. This picture depicts the ceremony held in Naples in May 1960 marking the milestone of 1 million people assisted by what was then known as the Intergovernmental Committee for European Migration (ICEM). #IOM75

Over one million people have been displaced in #Lebanon as the crisis in the Middle East continues to escalate. Behind every number is a family forced to flee in search of safety and protection. De-escalation is essential to protect lives and prevent further suffering.

Some families are surviving near frontlines. Others are rebuilding from nothing. Millions are waiting, unsure if they'll ever go home. 4 years into the Ukraine war, nearly 11M people need assistance. IOM reached 1M+ in 2025 but the work must continue. iom.int/Zmi

Eid Mubarak to all observing. This year, millions mark Eid in displacement, still gathering in the spirit of community and giving despite their circumstances. As we conclude this holy time, we owe not just our remembrance, but a continued effort to support them in rebuilding.

As families around the world come together, we hold in our hearts all migrants and displaced people far from home. May peace, dialogue, and compassion guide us, especially in difficult times.

Eid Mubarak to all celebrating. May this day bring peace, warmth, and happiness to you and your loved ones, wherever you are.

Shortfalls in funding threaten life saving services for 187,000 people in #SouthSudan. The lack of access to water, sanitation and flood prevention could trigger disease outbreaks and renewed displacement within weeks. Urgent action is needed now. iom.int/ZmU

Spain and IOM deepen work on safe migration pathways. @IOMchief met Spanish ministers in Madrid to strengthen cooperation on labour mobility, resettlement support, and migration governance. Press release 👉 iom.int/Zm3

Right now, vulnerable families in crisis are living in damaged shelters and unsafe conditions. This Ramadan, join @abusulayman in standing with displaced families and showing solidarity when it matters most.

Partnerships grounded in dignity and shared purpose are at the heart of IOM’s Islamic Philanthropy Fund. Ismael Dainehine, Founder of Evergive, shares why working with IOM is deeply personal to him, and how together, we are supporting people on the move.

More than 125,000 people have crossed from Lebanon into Syria, with nearly half being children. Many families are arriving with almost nothing, seeking safety and support. Urgent aid is needed to help people respond and prevent the crisis from deepening. iom.int/ZWv

Trash → Walls. Waste → Shelter. Hope → Home. In South Sudan, displaced families are building climate-smart homes from discarded plastic bottles, proving the best solutions often come from those who need them most. Happy World #RecyclingDay!

“Our message is clear: we need to protect civilians, reduce the violence, and ensure humanitarian assistance reaches all those who need it most.” IOM Chief of Mission in #Iran, Salvador Gutierrez, spoke with @CBCNews about the situation on the ground and its impact on people.

On the edge of the Sahara, women in #Niger are turning return into opportunity. Amina now leads a growing cooperative producing peanut oil and creating jobs, showing that reintegration can spark new futures close to home.

In Gaza, daily workers are improving and maintaining conditions across displacement sites, supporting safer living environments. During Ramadan, this means cleaner places for families to gather & basic income to purchase items to break fast together, with support from @EU_ECHO.

This week, Director General @IOMChief and Ambassador and Permanent Representative @AustraliaUN_GVA signed a Strategic Partnership Framework, renewing long-standing collaboration between IOM and Australia to advance safe, orderly migration worldwide. iom.int/ZWF

Prevention costs 4x less than response. IOM supports countries in East, Horn and Central Africa to better prepare for political, economic and climate shocks affecting the region. Hear Regional Director @CelestinFranz on why supporting the #IOMGlobalAppeal matters.

Honored to meet Prime Minister Kim to discuss our partnership on AI and technologies that serve people on the move. With the Republic of Korea's leadership in innovation, we have a real chance to strengthen collaboration that puts migrants and displaced people at the center.

During Ramadan, as we reflect on gratitude and compassion, it’s important to remember that everyone deserves a place to feel safe at night. A home is the start of stability, dignity, and a chance to plan for tomorrow.
