From first introductions to final cheers, this campaign belonged to the athletes and to everyone who stood with them. Thank you for watching, sharing, running, celebrating and believing. The medals may be decided, but the impact of inclusion keeps moving. Keep cheering. Keep opening doors. 🌍 @jojdakar2026 @RefugeesOlympic @Refugees @UNHCR_Kenya @RefugeesAfrica Credits: OIS/Kieran Cleeves, OIS/Joel Marklund, UNHCR/Clyde Boukono #Dakar2026 #YOG #RefugeeOlympicTeam #WithRefugees #sportforprotection #InclusionThroughSpor

In Haiti 🇭🇹, access to protection can make a life-changing difference for displaced families. Thanks to France’s support 🇫🇷, UNHCR and partners are helping people access documentation, protection services and the assistance they need to rebuild their lives with dignity and hope.

Nearly 90 million refugees and displaced people live in countries exposed to climate hazards, in a crisis they contributed least to.   Fragile states get just 10% of climate finance. The answer: lasting solutions, not short relief cycles.   No Escape: unhcr.org/media/no-escape-ii…

In Dnipro, @eu_echo visited a transit centre where UNHCR partners provide critical support to newly displaced people. The delegation also met a recently displaced family & heard about their journey. With @eu_echo support, UNHCR continues helping those forced to flee across🇺🇦.

Yesterday, I had the honour of briefing the UN General Assembly’s Third Committee in New York for the first time as High Commissioner. The Committee remains a critical global forum for discussion of human rights and humanitarian issues, bringing together all UN Member States. My remarks👇 unhcr.org/news/speeches-and-…

Congolese refugees in Burundi who have already lost so much are also more vulnerable to climate shocks. Our teams & partners are on the ground doing what they can despite already stretched funding. Your support can help make all the difference. @UN_Burundi
Following devastation of Busuma refugee site by torrential rains and strong winds, refugees need urgent humanitarian assistance and a minimum level of safety and dignity. Every contribution matters ! Every act of solidarity can save a life! Every minute counts! Let us act now!

What a privilege to be in Dakar for this historic moment. Watching the first Refugee Youth Olympic Team march alongside athletes from around the world was a powerful reminder that talent knows no borders.
🎉 The Opening Ceremony of #Dakar2026 marked the beginning of a historic new chapter. All eyes turned to Dakar as Africa hosted the first-ever Youth Olympic Games on its soil. Alongside young athletes from around the world, members of the Refugee Olympic Youth Team proudly marched onto the Olympic stage. 🌍✨ @jojdakar2026 @RefugeesOlympic @Refugees #Dakar2026 #YOG #RefugeeOlympicTeam #WithRefugees #sportforprotection #InclusionThroughSport
