That's 120,000,000. See how far you can count before giving up; write that number down; compare the two numers. Consider what you should do next.

In South Sudan, solar-powered water points are providing safe, reliable water for refugees and host communities. They've become places of connection and community, where children laugh, where stories are told and where women exchange news. © UNHCR/Philip James Lukudu

Persecution doesn’t always end after crossing a border. LGBTIQ+ refugees often face ongoing risks - before, during and after displacement. Everyone deserves to live free from fear and violence. #PrideMonth

This is a moving moment. This is a moment of joy. This is what it looks like when a refugee is no longer a refugee. High Commissioner Filippo Grandi witnessed the emotional return of refugees to their home in Syria. #Syria #WithRefugees

The world is full of crises and conflict. But there is also hope. At the border of Syria and Lebanon, High Commissioner Filippo Grandi saw a ray of hope. He saw refugees who are finally realising a dream held by so many forced to flee: the dream of returning home. #Syria

The number of people forced to flee is increasing, yet humanitarian funding isn’t keeping pace. UNHCR is being forced to scale back critical support like shelter, health services and protection. Refugees can’t wait. Global solidarity is needed now. #WithRefugees #Solidarity

Nelson Mandela’s words resonate as strongly today as ever. On Mandela Day, we honour his legacy - one of compassion, justice and solidarity with those facing oppression and displacement. Let’s build peace, not walls. Uplift, not exclude. Protect, not persecute.

New refugee situations intensify. Existing ones reignite. Most remain unresolved. The recent #GlobalTrends are concerning. There is an acute and growing need for durable solutions for people #ForcedToFlee.

“Every single death is one death too many.” Despite heroic efforts by the Lampedusa community, funding cuts are putting even more lives at risk. An urgent plea from High Commissioner Filippo Grandi: Do not cut humanitarian and development assistance.

"What we are seeing here: an emergency in reverse." High Commissioner Filippo Grandi visited the Islam Qala border of Afghanistan and Iran. This is what he saw.

The headlines may have moved on. But the war in Ukraine hasn’t. People are still being displaced. Still losing everything. Still trying to survive. Watch this video. Spread the word. And if you can, please help with a donation: bit.ly/3Hh1PqU.
