UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, in the United States and the Caribbean.

We protect people fleeing war and persecution and provide lifesaving humanitarian aid.
Over 3 million people have returned home in Syria in the past year — including 1.2M from abroad and 1.9M internally.

But many still can’t go home.

UNHCR continues supporting returnees with livelihoods, legal aid and basic services.

When forced to flee, women and girls are at increased risk of violence.

In Sudan, Syria, Ukraine and elsewhere, UNHCR prioritizes life-saving protection and services for those most at risk, but more support is needed.

In Sudan, an end to the war will bring a more stable future to millions of uprooted people: “That’s good for America. That’s good for the globe.”

The Sudan crisis is the world’s largest displacement emergency.

The 12 million people who have been forced to flee their homes urgently need life-saving humanitarian assistance, and above all, they need peace. unh.cr/6448ccc04

Leaving home is never easy.

For millions fleeing Sudan, it was their only choice.

What they carry with them is more than belongings — it’s hope for safety, and the strength to start again.

In Sudan’s Darfur and Kordofan regions, the humanitarian crisis is intensifying at an alarming pace.

When a missile hit Natalia’s home in Ukraine, her family was fast asleep.

They barely survived, but their house was destroyed, and the winter cold quickly set in.

Thousands of families like Natalia’s are struggling to rebuild.

After escaping brutal fighting, families in Sudan are now running out of time.

Children are hungry, parents are desperate, and communities are cut off from aid.

They need protection, safety and humanitarian access. Now, not later.

After years of exile, Syrians are returning home — the largest movement back in years.

But many are coming home to destroyed houses and shattered lives.

Hope is rising, but more support is needed. Let’s make sure hope doesn’t fade. unh.cr/65eb19aa0

Humanitarian workers must be allowed to reach people in urgent need across Sudan.

Civilians must never be targeted. Aid convoys must never be blocked.

Respect for international humanitarian law is an obligation, not an option.

Brutal violence in El Fasher, Sudan, has forced thousands of people to flee, leaving many trapped and facing serious protection risks.

Reports of executions and sexual violence are growing. Civilians must never be a target. International humanitarian law must be respected-now.

“We thought there would be enough food.”

Refugees in Kakuma are safe, but hunger still follows them.
