✈️ This week, we’re taking you on board.⁣ ⁣ What does it feel like to fly with the @WFP_UNHAS, the UN Humanitarian Air Service?⁣ ⁣ Hear from our colleague Daniele, reporting from the skies over Syria.⁣

Knowledge is safety. 💡 In Moldova, @IOMMoldova, backed by the EU 🇪🇺, hosted sessions to guide families on cash assistance, vulnerability assessments, and mental health support. Knowing “how” & “where” makes all the difference when you need support. 🇲🇩🇺🇦

📦 This isn't just cargo. Medicines, protective equipment and emergency tents - on their way on an EU Humanitarian Air Bridge to the Democratic Republic of the Congo to help fight the Ebola outbreak. 🎥 Listen to our colleague Giada explain how it works 👇⁣

✈️Around 32 tonnes of supplies were delivered in Beirut via EU Humanitarian Air Bridge, thanks to @WHO @UNFPA @MSF . Medicines, health kits, trauma backpacks, ... These essential supplies will be distributed to those in need in 🇱🇧. More aid will follow in the coming weeks.

'We had to move apartments twice… Our utility bills nearly tripled, so having this support makes a huge difference,' says Olga, a 🇺🇦 refugee in 🇲🇩. Backed by the EU, @IOMMoldova is helping vulnerable families cover rent, offering stability and safety after fleeing the war.

Mexico has quietly become a country of waiting. Over 800,000 refugees and asylum-seekers now call it home - many trapped between the dangers they fled and borders they can't cross. Read the full story and how the EU is helping: bit.ly/3QR5IaU

For the first time in a decade, the number of displaced people worldwide fell in 2025. Proof that protection, humanitarian aid & long-term solutions work. On #WorldRefugeeDay, the EU stands with the 117 million forced from home, and those who welcome them.

This #WorldRefugeeDay is not business as usual. Conflicts are escalating. Funding is falling short. Needs are growing. But our message remains the same: refugees need our solidarity - to live in safety, with dignity, and to rebuild their lives. #WithRefugees

Every number is a life.​⁣ Behind every figure is a person forced to flee conflict, violence, or persecution - often with nothing but hope for safety.​⁣ 💙 This #WorldRefugeeDay, we renew our commitment to protect, support and stand in solidarity #WithRefugees.​⁣

How far would you go to keep your family safe? Some refugees walk thousands of kilometres to find out. This #WorldRefugeeDay and beyond, we stand with #Refugees. Every step of the way.

“What does bread mean to someone who is hungry? It means life.” For Saeed and thousands of families returning to #Afghanistan, @WFP food assistance is the difference between hunger and hope. EU support helps reach those most in need. 🇪🇺💙

The relentless violence against civilians in Sudan continues, with no end in sight. Drone attacks have killed dozens in North Kordofan, including a Red Crescent volunteer. Even wars have rules. These rules apply to all parties to the conflict.
