A grave protection crisis is unfolding in South Sudan’s eastern Jonglei State. Months of fighting and insecurity have forced hundreds of thousands of people to flee their homes. This senseless violence must end.

Thank you 🇨🇦 @CanadaDev for new funding for the refugee response in Uganda 🇺🇬. With the refugee population now surpassing 2 million, this support is a critical lifeline to ensure protection and dignity for those who have fled conflict. @UNHCRCanada @CanHCKenya

In Lebanon, families continue to endure extremely challenging conditions, with mothers like Fatima doing everything they can to keep their children safe. 🇨🇦 @CanadaDev flexible funding remains indispensable to UNHCR in sustaining essential assistance and protection for refugees.

My mother escaped the Taliban regime and we became refugees. Canada opened its doors to us. The Taliban banned schools for millions of girls, but that one chance led to me studying at Columbia University and Oxford University. Let Afghan girls learn.

In one of the world’s most densely populated places, green is growing back. Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh are restoring forests, adapting to extreme weather and rebuilding their lives. This #EarthDay, remember: refugees are rebuilding on the frontlines of the climate crisis.

Hours after the ceasefire began in Lebanon, many displaced families cautiously returned home, hoping for lasting stability. But the ceasefire is fragile—some are already fleeing again, while others wait, uncertain of what comes next.

Thank you @CanadaDev for your continued commitment to the people affected by the crisis in Sudan. Canada’s support is helping UNHCR deliver humanitarian assistance and essential services to refugees and displaced families. At a time of immense need, this solidarity is critical.
