NEWS from Sudan: Today we brought life-saving aid from Chad to Darfur. Extremely vulnerable people - some displaced over and over due to war and recent floods - will access kitchen sets, blankets, sleeping mats, solar lamps and more. Additional funding is urgently needed.

The @RefugeesOlympic Team just floated down the Seine at the #Paris2024 Opening Ceremony! Their journey was far from easy, but now they made it here. So excited to see them compete in the next few days and #CheerForRefugees!




“It's not just about short-term aid; it's about building futures.” @UN High Commissioner @FilippoGrandi emphasises the need for both immediate relief and sustainable growth in Chad amid the crisis in Sudan.

I am heartened to see so many people back in Saltivka, #Kharkiv city, after the horrors they experienced last year when their area was under attack. @UNHCRUkraine has repaired windows in 660 apartments and the work continues, so families can stay warm in their homes this winter.





As hundreds of thousands flee Somalia to Ethiopia, 🇺🇳and partners call for urgent funding. This is hardly in the headlines but @refugees teams are on the ground delivering urgently needed protection and assistance. This needs to be stepped up. unhcr.org/news/press/202…






In response to the devastating earthquakes that struck Türkiye and Syria, @refugees is mobilizing tens of thousands of additional life-saving items from its existing stockpiles in the region, including blankets, mattresses, kitchen sets, food packs and warm clothing.
