"Protection matters. Solutions matter." While the number of refugees declined in the past year, most are living in long-term exile. Our strategy is to keep refugees safe, reduce aid dependency, and find lasting solutions. High Commissioner @BarhamSalih:

Refugee numbers declined in 2025, but the story behind the figures matters. Most refugees want to go home, but it must be voluntary, safe and with dignity. For every person forced to flee… Protection matters. Solutions matter.

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.

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. The latest from UNHCR's @mamadou_dbalde:

The Ebola outbreak is threatening communities already affected by conflict and displacement in eastern DR Congo. More than 2 million displaced people live in areas at high risk of transmission. Urgent support is needed to scale up prevention efforts: bit.ly/3uzlVXl
