UNHCR Iraq

Al-Riyadh School in Kirkuk is COMPLETE. ✅ 12 new classrooms. Solar power. Clean water. Safety systems. Built by UNHCR so displaced families can return home and belong—with the same education as everyone else. This is how we build lasting solutions 💪

بفضل دعم منحة دافي الدراسية، واصلت زينب دراستها، وتخرجت بتفوق، ثم أكملت دراستها العليا وحصلت على درجة الماجستير. منذ عام ٢٠١٦، استفاد ٤٩٢ طالبًا لاجئًا في العراق من التعليم العالي من خلال دافي.

No one chooses to become a refugee. But we choose how we respond 🤝

في خضمّ الأزمات المتعددة، تحتاج العائلات المُجبرة على الفرار والمجتمعات التي تواجه العنف والكوارث إلى الحماية والدعم المنقذ للحياة. يجب أن يكون هذا العام هو العام الذي نختار فيه التضامن بدل من التجاهل.

نەورۆزتان پیرۆز بێت… نەورۆز، دیرۆکی بەرخۆدانە بۆ ئازادی، هێمای نویبونەوە، و سەرەتای بەهار و بوژانەوەیە. ولەم کاتەدا کە شەڕ بەرۆکی ناوچەکەی گرتۆتەوە، با هیوا بخوازین ساڵی نوێ ببێتە مایەی ئاشتی و ئارامی و سەروەری مافی مرۆڤ.

The United Nations would like to clarify that no UN offices have been impacted by recent security incidents in Sulaymaniyah.
