Strange to say "Happy #WorldRefugeeDay" when we all wish it was unnecessary. But there is so much to celebrate about refugees: courage; resilience; the indomitable strength of hope + love. Today is for you - who teach us what humanity is. I will always be proud to say I knew you. https://t.co/TiYcJiJBKd

"Despite images of refugees fleeing to Europe, 85% are in developing nations - most neighbouring countries they fled." Many have admirably hosted refugees for years w scarce resources. Support is needed not only for refugees, but communities who host them. https://t.co/BkBukdXTd5 https://t.co/ZE2igY8k5B

Over 655,000 #Rohingya refugees fled to safety in Bangladesh in 2017. Borders must remain open because there are no other choices for people fleeing war + persecution. Asylum is a lifeline - it needs strengthening, defending + supporting. #WithRefugees https://t.co/BkBukdXTd5 https://t.co/3xIpEdErni

UNHCR's 2017 Global Trends Report released today - 85% of the world's #refugees under UNHCR's mandate are in developing countries. Perspective is needed on these international challenges. Responsibility-sharing + solidarity are critical. #WithRefugees https://t.co/BkBukdXTd5 https://t.co/ieVOiSCt59
