Returning home isn’t the end. It’s the first step toward rebuilding a life. Ali’s story shows how a small opportunity can bring an entire future back to life. 💙 @Refugees #WorldRefugeeDay

Five days in Ethiopia. Evidence that solutions are possible. From welcoming those seeking safety to advancing inclusion, High Commissioner @BarhamSalih saw Ethiopia’s solidarity in action. International community must step up its support & investment to sustain that leadership.
- Tyre, Lebanon is devastated. Homes, hospitals and shelters are damaged or destroyed by Israeli strikes. Ceasefires mean little when fear remains. Hundreds of thousands are still displaced, stuck in uncertainty. This must end.

Gambella faces a profound humanitarian challenge: 450,000 refugees— more arriving. UNHCR is providing life‑saving support, but resources are stretched. In Jewi camp, ~70,000 rely on one doctor! Support is needed to advance inclusion &self‑reliance through Ethiopia’s Mekatet plan
00:00 - In Ethiopia’s Gambella region, High Commissioner @BarhamSalih met some of the 450,000 South Sudanese refugees hosted here. With resources strained, thousands of new arrivals expected from renewed conflict in South Sudan need lifesaving aid now, while seeking lasting solutions.
- Sometimes safety is deeply personal. Other times it’s universal. Wanting the people you love to be safe is something we all understand. #WorldRefugeeDay
