Flyktinglaget i OS tävlar för alla 120 miljoner som befinner sig på flykt. På vägen till Paris har de klarat av svårigheter som vi andra knappt kan föreställa oss. #CheerForRefugees #UNHCR #Paris
The @RefugeesOlympic Team just floated down the Seine at the #Paris2024 Opening Ceremony! Their journey was far from easy, but now they made it here. So excited to see them compete in the next few days and #CheerForRefugees!

FN:s Flyktingorgan UNHCR: ofta först på plats i en katastrof, alltid kvar så länge som det behövs. En flykting är idag flykting ung 17 år i snitt. UNHCR är med hela vägen.
“It's not just about short-term aid; it's about building futures.” @UN High Commissioner @FilippoGrandi emphasises the need for both immediate relief and sustainable growth in Chad amid the crisis in Sudan.

Så många glömda flyktingkatastrofer i världen. UNHCR finns på plats i drygt 130 länder. Vi stannar så länge flyktingarna förblir flyktingar - i vissa fall i årtionden.
As hundreds of thousands flee Somalia to Ethiopia, 🇺🇳and partners call for urgent funding. This is hardly in the headlines but @refugees teams are on the ground delivering urgently needed protection and assistance. This needs to be stepped up.

Today, the @UN launches an appeal of $5.6 billion to help millions of Ukrainians whose lives have been shattered by war. The war is far from over. Continued international solidarity is essential to meet humanitarian needs. We are on the ground and will continue to support.

Tur i den fruktansvärda oturen att UNHCR redan hade lager med nödhjälp på plats.
In response to the devastating earthquakes that struck Türkiye and Syria, @refugees is mobilizing tens of thousands of additional life-saving items from its existing stockpiles in the region, including blankets, mattresses, kitchen sets, food packs and warm clothing.

Tack @gad_media för din otroligt viktiga insats att beskriva den fruktansvärda och tyvärr av omvärlden ganska bortglömda humanitära katastrofen i Etiopien!
Många har frågat hur man kan hjälpa krigsdrabbade i Etiopien. Här kan du själv se vilka organisationer som finns på plats! UNHCR https://t.co/IsM2Ca0RG1 Röda korset https://t.co/jEfmiETcVy

Jordbävningen i Gaziantep förfärar. För ett år sedan var jag där och besökte UNHCR. Staden hade välkomnat så många flyende från Syrien. Ca 30 procent av invånarna är flyktingar. #unhcr #sverigeforunhcr

UNHCR har kontor i Dnipro där den fruktansvärda attacken på ett stort bostadshus inträffade i helgen. Vi var på plats omedelbart med hjälp som varma kläder och presenningar, men också psykologiskt stöd för de drabbade.
The horrific attack on a residential building in #Dnipro has injured and killed dozens of civilians. UNHCR and our partner @MissionProliska mobilized quickly, providing thermal blankets and assistance with temporary accommodation to families whose homes have been destroyed.

I morgonens @sr_ekot intervjuas Internationella Röda Korset och säger felaktigt att de är enda internationella organisation aktiv i Donetsk och Luhansk i Ukraina. Även @UNHCRUkraine finns på plats där och levererar nödhjälp och skydd.
