Funding for refugees is under threat. 🚨 UNHCR is being asked to do more with less. Severe funding cuts mean scaling back the basics, safety, shelter and healthcare. We won't give up, but we can't do it alone. Your solidarity matters now more than ever. #WithRefugees

Some had to part with their parents. Some lost loved ones. Some don't even remember their homes. Children who were forced to flee deserve better than today's #GlobalTrends of conflicts and displacement.

Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh are dealing with all kinds of extreme weather events, including thunderstorms 🌩️ Following the 30-30 rule for lightning can keep people safe from potential lightning strikes...in a refugee camp, and everywhere else ⚡️⚡️

Meet Rashida & Hasina – even in pouring rain, they don’t hesitate to wade in the river to help fortify the riverside & divert water away from the land next to it. In heavy rain, streams in the camps often overflow, threatening homes, infrastructure & agricultural land.
