On #WorldRefugeeDay, thank you Filippo Grandi for your leadership, and UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency for your incredible dedication and service to the communities we serve. History shows we have all been refugees, and suggests we will be again. Let’s respond with greater empathy and generosity.

Thankful to Office of the Director-General, UNON and colleagues across U.N. agencies who gathered with us on #WorldRefugeeDay to stand in solidarity with the over 5 million refugees in this region & the generous communities who continue to host them.
