It's because of war. It's because of violence. It's because of persecution. It’s a heartbreaking decision that 41.6 million people have made to flee their countries to find safety. #GlobalTrends

100 days since the escalation of the conflict, around 1 million people across 🇱🇧 remain displaced. Many have fled more than once. Home, livelihoods and a sense of normalcy are still out of reach. Needs are rising. The response must be sustained. Hear @KarolinaBilling

One of the world’s largest crises. Lives lost. Millions displaced. Horrible human rights violations. A vicious cycle of violence. Yet, the world keeps looking away. The people of Sudan cannot be forgotten.

Imagine being so far away that help can only reach you by helicopter. 🚁 That’s the reality for families in Banki, Nigeria. Even in most remote places, UNHCR is showing up to bring support, build shelters and help refugees rebuild.

I sat down with Ali Hamadi—fellow Iraqi, fellow refugee—now set to represent Iraq at its first World Cup in 40 years. When he fled as a child, this moment would have felt unimaginable. Life can take us farther than we ever expect—and sometimes brings our stories full circle.
