Amidst the lives tragically lost in the #EthiopianAirlineCrash were those of UNHCR and other UN colleagues. To their families and those of all the victims the thoughts and prayers of all of us at UNHCR. https://t.co/u3rLt5eHza

Maryam, 9, is a Syrian refugee girl. She wants to become a doctor. Years of hardship have not diminished her determination. Helping her and many other young Syrians have a better future is an immense challenge but we must follow her example, and not give up. https://t.co/Q36IerP8Oc

Yesterday we celebrated #InternationalWomensday. Today a Syrian, single refugee mother told me that her daughter was married at 15 because the family is desperately poor: the terrible reality for millions of girls deprived of their childhood, often in refugee situations. https://t.co/9uFbWA6xmI

Honoured that one of my meetings with government in Beirut was with @rayaelhassan, the first woman Interior Minister in Lebanon and in the region. We had a very constructive, useful discussion. #InternationalWomensDay https://t.co/CZpmBi94Mk

Courageous women in my family, among friends and colleagues, in positions of leadership and most especially in refugee and war torn communities worldwide have been a role model throughout my life. Today, in particular, I thank them all. #InternationalWomensDay https://t.co/xoNOmgBe9r

Eight years of conflict have forced many people in Syria to be displaced several times. They continue to need humanitarian support to meet their basic needs. https://t.co/VOltsfrXjJ

I am so grateful to Ben Stiller @RedHourBen for being such a great advocate for refugees worldwide! Read about his visit to Lebanon. https://t.co/ZNB4B7Cazj

Some of the Syrian children who were refugees abroad or displaced in Syria are returning home, filling crowded classrooms. Supporting Syrian returnees is an urgent humanitarian task which we must step up. https://t.co/2axFuhznUJ
