Happy Day of Restoration of Independence Lithuania 🇱🇹! Thank you for your support to UNHCR and your remarkable generosity towards Ukranians. Pictures are from my recent visit where I also met refugees and asylum seekers in the Vilnius Centre who shared their experiences.

UNHCR is affected by severe cuts in global humanitarian funding. The impact is immediate and severe and millions of displaced families worldwide are already losing lifesaving aid. In times of funding cuts, displaced people suffer first - and they suffer the most.

UNHCR's work saves lives, protects and advances solutions for forcibly displaced people. By doing so, we help stabilize fragile regions, strengthen local economies, & contribute to security and peace. A world where refugees find safety makes us all safer.

It’s been over two years since the war broke out in Sudan and created one of the worst humanitarian and displacement crises in the world. We cannot allow this to become another forgotten emergency. The world must #KeepEyesOnSudan. unhcr.org/news/press-rel…

Like Omar, many Syrians are returning home to rebuild their lives and reconnect with family. But the obstacles are many. Years of conflict have left a deep scar on the country's infrastructure and economy. More international support is needed.

Fantastisk fina nyheter! Sweden steps up aid to Bangladesh, both to local communities and the refugees. This support comes when the needs are dire and we are struggling to ensure a continued dignified response.

A big thanks to the refugee-led organization Newcomers with Disabilities for ensuring that today's parliamentary hearing also spotlighted the difficulties refugees with disabilities in Sweden face.

Tusen tack Sverige! This was the main message from Filippo Grandi when he visited Sweden. Sweden is one of UNHCR’s most important partners and its early core funding this year has been critical to save lives around the world confronted by increasing insecurity &

Sweden - and the Swedish people - continue to stand up for rights, for humanity and for doing the right thing. With so much hatred and anger in the world, it takes courage to do the right thing. Thank you.
