People fleeing conflict and persecution deserve safety and dignity.

An important message from our colleague in Pakistan: No one seeking international protection should be deported.

New Humaniyarian, challenge accepted but no, this is not the end of asylum!

Let’s not be blinded by short term populist decisions.

Most Europeans still stand in favor of protecting those fleeing wars or persecution.

But reforms are urgently needed!

“When we fled, we lost everything.”

Mariam fled the war in Sudan to Chad with her family.

For refugees like her, UNHCR’s support is vital in helping them rebuild, providing shelter and hope in the face of so much loss.

It is more than aid - it’s a chance to begin again. 🌍💙

🏚️ Despite almost 14 years of conflict in Syria, hope endures.

As Syrians return to rebuild their lives in shattered communities, UNHCR is there to provide life-saving support and services.

Together, we can help turn hope into action.

There is a remarkable opportunity for Syria to move toward peace and for its people to begin returning home. But the situation is still uncertain.

And with shattered infrastructure and 90% of the population relying on humanitarian aid, urgent assistance is required.

Syria is at a crossroads

Undoubtedly, the past - a cruel regime - must be tried

Undoubtedly, nobody knows what the future holds

Undoubtedly, many Syrians hope for a peaceful future in a united Syria

Undoubtedly, protection must be guaranteed to those in exile who yet doubt it
