"These are people with children, with families, with ambitions, with dreams." UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador Theo James spoke with @ABCNewsLive's @JamesAALongman about his recent visit to Syria and why solidarity with people forced to flee matters.

In New York, High Commissioner @BarhamSalih met with Ambassador Waltz @USAmbUN. They discussed current displacement crises and conflicts around the world, life-saving and humanitarian support for refugees, lasting solutions, self-reliance, and efficient and ongoing reforms.

Jointly w/@UNHCRUkraine, a bipartisan U.S. congressional delegation visited Zaporizhzhia + Dnipro in Eastern Ukraine to better understand the reality on the ground, including increased shelling, energy cuts and displacement from frontline areas. @UNHCRUSA

A year since the fall of the Assad regime, Syria faces a pivotal moment for displaced Syrian families as they return and rebuild. Read Amb. Ryan Crocker’s op-ed in @TheHill on U.S. leadership in helping to ensure a safer, more secure future for Syrians. bit.ly/4pG9LTx

#KeepEyesOnSudan Always.

I welcome the announcement of an agreement to secure a ceasefire & hostage release in Gaza, based on the proposal put forward by @POTUS. I commend the diplomatic efforts of the United States, Qatar, Egypt & Türkiye in brokering this desperately needed breakthrough. I urge all concerned to abide fully by the terms of the agreement. All hostages must be released in a dignified manner. A permanent ceasefire must be secured. The fighting must stop once & for all. Immediate & unimpeded entry of humanitarian supplies & essential commercial materials into Gaza must be ensured. The suffering must end. The @UN will support the full implementation of the agreement & will scale up the delivery of sustained & principled humanitarian relief, and we will advance recovery & reconstruction efforts in Gaza. I urge all stakeholders to seize this momentous opportunity to establish a credible political path forward towards ending the occupation, recognizing the right to self-determination of the Palestinian people, leading to a two-state solution to enable Israelis & Palestinians to live in peace & security. The stakes have never been higher.

With peace out of reach for so many, the international community must not look away. High Commissioner @FilippoGrandi urges leaders to seize this moment at #UNGA: choose peace over war and end the suffering of millions.

What an extraordinary privilege to meet Pope Leo XIV and what a great encouragement to hear him affirm the Catholic Church’s commitment to humanity — especially the poor, the victims of war, the refugees, the displaced people. Much needed light amidst the darkness. @Pontifex
