Some had to part with their parents. Some lost loved ones. Some don't even remember their homes. Children who were forced to flee deserve better than today's #GlobalTrends of conflicts and displacement.

Funding for refugees is under threat. 🚨. UNHCR is being asked to do more with less. Severe funding cuts mean scaling back the basics, safety, shelter and healthcare. We won't give up, but we can't do it alone. Your solidarity matters now more than ever. #WithRefugees
