Wishing @SwedishPM Kristersson and his government all the best as they start their tenure leading a country which has always been one of UNHCR’s strongest partners and supporters. We look forward to continuing cooperation in addressing refugee crises worldwide.

Positive and constructive meeting with President @HassanSMohamud in Mogadishu. As a terrible drought and continuous insecurity impact millions of Somali lives, UNHCR remains engaged in the humanitarian response and in efforts to break the lethal cycle of crisis and displacement. https://t.co/CbHQdLuOlb

For 30 years the DAFI scholarship programme has transformed the lives of refugee students, thanks to @GermanyDiplo leading support and contributions by the @CzechMFA, @DanishMFA, and the private sector. Our goal: to have 15% of refugees in tertiary education by 2030! #15by30 https://t.co/wVVDoM9ZsC

“Failed by decision-makers. Pursued by aggressors, persecutors or the climate emergency, or a combination of these and other factors. And in too many cases invisible, in the margins of humanity. It is a failure which we must not accept.” On refugees, in closing #ExCom2022. https://t.co/KzZwImJFEj

Unless peace efforts are seriously pursued, civilians will continue to be killed, injured and displaced in northern Ethiopia. Meanwhile humanitarian workers must be able to do their work safely as they keep trying to reach Ethiopians and refugees in need of life saving support.

“We are seeking ways to make UNHCR a leaner organisation. A greener organisation, one with a lighter carbon footprint. We are investing in change, transforming UNHCR. Reinvigorating our workplace culture and modernizing our systems.” UNHCR’s @KellyTClements at #ExCom2022. https://t.co/4wOHu66uAZ

“The world now faces a humanitarian protection crisis on an unprecedented scale, driven by root causes of inequality, poverty, discrimination, violence, food insecurity and weak governance, each exacerbated by the impacts of climate change.” UNHCR’s @GillianTriggs at #ExCom2022. https://t.co/RIcuW9LV9G

A privilege to present former German Chancellor Angela Merkel with the 2022 Nansen Award, for her vision, courage and fortitude in upholding the cause of refugees. https://t.co/wAKGwHxOH6

“If we do not receive at least additional $700m especially for our most underfunded operations between now and the end of this year, we will be forced to make severe cuts with negative, dramatic consequences for refugees and host communities.” I made this appeal at #ExCom2022.

“Nearly 8 months later, lives and civilian infrastructure are being inexcusably destroyed. As we speak, my colleagues are reporting to me horrifying strikes on urban centres.” Sharing dramatic information from Ukraine in my #ExCom2022 opening statement.
