After 14 years of conflict, half a million Syrians have made it back home to Syria. Not without challenges—but with hope. Their voluntary return is a reminder: with the right support, recovery is possible.

"I’m happy to be back in school." Children who are forced to flee conflict carry a burden far beyond their years. But safety is only the beginning. With access to education, these young minds are given the chance to dream, to heal—and to become whoever they want to be.

Ozaz is 1 of nearly 700k Sudanese refugees registered in 🇪🇬 & 1 of 12m displaced by the 🇸🇩 conflict. She brings her son for a medical check-up at a UNHCR-supported clinic. Lives depend on sustained support, but critical services like this are at risk due to severe underfunding.

Thousands are fleeing Darfur into Chad. Many are children arriving alone, dehydrated and malnourished. Camps are overwhelmed. Families are sleeping in extreme heat with no shelter or food. Urgent aid is needed. unh.cr/6448ccc04

Leaving home is never a choice. It forces people to carry unimaginable trauma, witnessing their country at war, leaving loved ones behind & starting anew elsewhere. On 🇩🇰 Constitution Day, we thank Denmark for its continued support to refugees. Denmark MFA 🇩🇰 Frej Jackson

Thinking of United Nations colleagues who lost their lives in yet another attack in Sudan. Four million people have now fled Sudan in search of safety in other countries. This is a tragic example of what they're running from. My heart breaks for the people affected by this senseless war.

This #WorldRefugeeDay is not business as usual. Conflicts are escalating. Aid is shrinking. But one thing hasn’t changed: refugees need our solidarity to live in safety, with dignity and to rebuild their lives. Let’s come together with refugees today and always.
