Inclusion isn’t just a goal. It’s a responsibility. On this #IDPD, we highlight the strength of refugees and displaced people living with disabilities who continue to push forward despite immense barriers.

During recent visits to Jordan and Syria, it was heartbreaking to see the state of so many homes. Please donate to UNHCR this #GivingTuesday to help us repair worn out tents and bombed out buildings, before the worst winter weather hits. https://t.co/DNdsXtQHMM

Across crisis zones, gender-based violence programmes are dangerously underfunded. Humanitarian funding shortages risk reversing gains in gender equality and gender-based violence prevention. Underfunding puts refugee women and girls at greater risk of violence. #16Days

A boat carrying up to 70 Rohingya refugees has capsized off the coast of Malaysia and Thailand. At least 21 people—two of them teenage girls—are confirmed dead. 13 survived. Dozens remain missing. This is yet another avoidable tragedy at sea.

Extreme weather can wreak unbelievable havoc. Nobody knows this better than those forced to flee. #COP30 must deliver solutions for those hardest hit.

Six months ago, Omer Elnaiem thought the worst had passed. It didn’t. His message today: don’t forget about Sudan.

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.

Welcome to childhood in Ukraine. Welcome to the underground schools. In Kharkiv region alone, half of all schools have been damaged or destroyed by Russian strikes. With support from UNHCR, 2,500 students here have found an education oasis in underground classrooms.

From Sudan to Yemen, families forced to flee are facing another life-threatening crisis: hunger. On #WorldFoodDay, we’re thinking of millions of people who are going to bed hungry or struggling to feed their children.

Hunger shouldn’t be part of anyone’s journey. Refugee children need nourishment to grow, learn and have a chance at life.
