M7.7 earthquake has hit #Myanmar impacting Thailand and other countries.

Hundreds are feared dead. Thousands more are injured and displaced, with their houses and communities devastated.

Please donate and help #IOM reach affected people with critical humanitarian support.

Wrapping up a great visit to Kosovo with a productive meeting with H.E Mr. Nenad Rašić, Minister for Communities & Returns. @iom discussed mutual efforts to foster social cohesion & support the reintegration of returnees, non-majority communities, & internally displaced persons.

Glad to exchange today with BIH’s Foreign Minister, H.E. Elmedin Konaković, on a forward-looking approach to #migration, including advancing labour mobility as key to driving economic growth and supporting communities. IOM remains a strong partner in reforms that supports BiH’s EU path. @iom.int

Millions of Ukrainians have been displaced. During my trip to Ukraine last week, I've witnessed first hand their unwavering courage and resilience.

Together with the international community, @iom.int stands ready to continue supporting Ukrainians in need.

As we mark 2 years since the #Türkiye earthquakes, @iom.int remains committed to helping migrant & host communities work hand-in-hand to rebuild.

Migrants are playing their part in revitalizing construction, manufacturing, agriculture & more — contributing to socioeconomic recovery.

Two years ago today, devastating earthquakes struck southeast Türkiye. We remember those who perished and honour the resilience of those affected.

IOM - UN migration agency - will continue working with the government and partners to assist the most vulnerable and facilitate sustainable recovery.

The ongoing crisis in #Sudan has devastating impacts, displacing millions, some of whom have been displaced more than once.

IOM is on the ground providing lifesaving assistance ensuring that the people can lead a life of stability and security in their homelands.
