    On World Refugee Day, I ask you to remember the millions who were forced to leave their homes. Their story is one of resilience, perseverance and courage. Ours must be of solidarity, compassion and action.

    Staggering numbers that need to be humanized

    68,500,000 people. 68,500,000 stories. 68,500,000 dreams. 68,500,000 journeys. 68,500,000 lives uprooted. 68,500,000 missed chances. 68,500,000 longing for home. 68,500,000 unthinkable tragedies. 68,500,000 heads full of memories. 68,500,000 were displaced at the end of 2017.

    Deeply grateful for this strong statement from our Chief! While there remains so much suffering in Africa, I have personally been beyond moved by the strength and perseverance of African refugees.

    Today we honour the strength and resilience of African refugees and displaced people. Today we commit once more to work with the state and people of Africa in finding solutions to their plight.

    When we educate a child we give her more than books. We give her the tools, skills and imagination she needs to be the change she wants. For peace and the future of our world there is no better investment than in education.

    I have nothing but pure admiration for ICRC, incredible mission carried out by dedicated and brilliant humanitarians.

    The rules of war: No targeting civilians. No targeting civilians. No targeting civilians. No targeting civilians. No targeting civilians. No targeting civilians. No targeting civilians. No targeting civilians. No targeting civilians. No targeting civilians.

    This couldn't be more true! It's our mission at UNHCR to provide that help.
