A Russian drone attack hit residential buildings in Dnipro, Ukraine, yesterday. This is yet another strike in a war that continues through the depths of winter. With temperatures dropping to –15°C, families are left facing destroyed homes with life-threatening needs.

Floodwaters are rising. Families are fleeing. Needs are growing by the hour. Severe flooding has affected 600,000+ people in southern Mozambique, triggering new displacement. UNHCR is supporting the Government-led response and stands ready to scale it up.

In Chad, High Commissioner Barham Salih met Sudanese refugees who had just escaped conflict and carnage in Sudan. He took what he witnessed and the stories he heard to #WEF26. This was his message to the world.

Recent fighting in east and northeast Syria has forced thousands of families to flee looking for safety during harsh winter conditions. UNHCR is supporting with core relief items but safety and access to humanitarian workers is critical to be able to scale up the response to the growing needs.

Even as severe funding cuts put further pressure on humanitarian resources, UNHCR responded last year to a range of highly complex new emergencies as well as intensifying protracted crises that forced millions of people from their homes. ➡️ Learn more: www.unhcr.org/news/press-r...

📣 This week, governments, refugees and partners gather in Geneva for the Global #RefugeeForum Progress Review. @filippograndi.unhcr.org, UN High Commissioner for Refugees, opened with some key reminders.

Proliska is one of the few teams still reaching people along Ukraine's front line, evacuating those at risk and supporting communities in the hardest-to-reach places. For their life-saving efforts, they are the #NansenAward winner for Europe.

And now Taban Shoresh is the #NansenAward winner for MENA. A survivor of war and displacement herself, she returned to the Kurdistan Region of Iraq to found The Lotus Flower, a women-led organization helping other survivors rebuild their lives.

Refugees, you are not alone. That’s our message today — and every day. As global displacement tops 117 million, the right to seek asylum must not be allowed to fade. It is life-saving. It is indispensable. www.unhcr.org/news/briefin...

Next week, governments, refugees and key partners will gather in Geneva for the Global #RefugeeForum Progress Review. At a time when global support is wavering, this is a critical opportunity to reaffirm solidarity and deliver results.

One year after the fall of the Assad regime, over 3 million displaced Syrians have returned home. This is a historic turning point — and a rare chance to support recovery after more than a decade of conflict. 🧵

Back in Syria after 12 years as refugees, Qasem’s family is starting over in a broken home with fragile health and few resources. But for Qasem, returning was worth it: “Life... was hard. Here, at least, we’re home.”

Villages are attacked at night. Homes are burned. Families scatter in the chaos. Parents lose sight of children. Elderly are left behind. Some walk for days to reach safety—without documents, support or even shelter. This is the current situation in northern Mozambique.

Inclusion isn’t just a goal. It’s a responsibility. On this #IDPD, we highlight the strength of refugees and displaced people living with disabilities who continue to push forward despite immense barriers.

Your Giving Tuesday generosity is keeping refugee families safe and warm this winter. Let’s keep it going. unh.cr/9vL4J1

Over $1B pledged to UNHCR today is a strong signal of solidarity with people forced to flee. This is a crucial start for 2026, but we need this momentum to grow because funding gaps still put millions at risk. ℹ️ www.unhcr.org/news/press-r...
