UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency

🔹 80% of Syrian refugees hope to return one day. But challenges remain. UNHCR is supporting voluntary returns, access to legal aid and services and advocating for safe reintegration inside Syria. The world must step up its support.

In Ukraine, families on the front lines are struggling without electricity, gas or water. Many also lack shelter and essential supplies. 🚛 UNHCR, alongside other UN agencies, are delivering life-saving aid in Myrnohrad and beyond, reaching those most at risk - because no one should be left to endure this alone.

Safe passage, life-saving aid—but most importantly, sustained support for those in need. In #StaffSpotlight today, Mamadou Dian Balde, UNHCR’s Regional Refugee Coordinator for the Sudan Emergency, highlights the escalating humanitarian crisis as horrific violence in Darfur, Sudan drive thousands to seek refuge in Chad. #HumanitariansAtWork

After 12 years in exile, this refugee is returning home to Syria with hope. As Saddam holds his daughter Allouna at the border crossing between Jordan and Syria, he is full of future plans. “I will open an aluminium shop in my village in Busra Al-Sham and contribute to the rebuilding of my country,” he says. UNHCR is supporting voluntary returns for many more like Saddam, who feels safe to return home and start anew in Syria. We are providing returnees and others in need with basic household items, repairs to damaged homes, emergency cash assistance, support to replace lost identity documents and psychological counselling, among other services. We are working to ensure returnees can integrate in their communities and access vital services.

One day, Twagirayesu and his classmates heard a warning - armed groups were coming to take them from school. Fearing for his life, he fled DR Congo and found himself in Uganda with nothing. Some nights, he went to bed hungry. But through it all, he never gave up on his future. Although he fled Congo last year, his story resonates today.

We don’t have to imagine a world with more teachers, doctors, engineers, and scientists. We can build it. And it starts with ensuring every refugee child has access to quality education that will unlock their potential and turn their dreams into reality.
