We welcome @POTUS' decision to restore the US’ leadership on refugee resettlement. With global resettlement admissions currently at record lows, the commitment to increase admissions will save lives and protect some of the world’s most vulnerable. https://t.co/fDXbk7Zsxq

We heard from asylum seekers at the Pournara reception centre and those living in the community about the challenges they are facing, from accessing housing, social services, legal aid and employment. https://t.co/dLkhZvS5ec

I had very constructive discussions this morning with Cyprus’ Minister of Interior, Nicos Nouris, on access to asylum and improving reception conditions. We agreed to strengthen cooperation on these issues. https://t.co/QjkKK8ZvWC

Cyprus is one of Europe’s frontline states that is seeing increased arrivals. I’m here to see how we can offer further support to address challenges in access to asylum for people in need of protection, and to improve conditions. https://t.co/BeopDvIqs4

We welcome the announcement of a planned increase, to be formalised in May, in the number of refugees who will be given the chance this year to rebuild their lives in safety in the United States.  Refugee resettlement saves lives. https://t.co/pbrnOkXSL7

The Asylum Capacity Support Group aims to help States strengthen their asylum systems. We are pleased to announce a new resource, an online portal where States can request and receive support. https://t.co/nAKfo9Et7b

Today marks the first day of #Ramadan in Jordan and we are spending it with refugees and locals at the @jordanriverfdn kitchen, preparing for the first Iftar (breaking of the fast) tonight. Our thoughts are with those displaced who will be observing this month away from home. https://t.co/OsPRCIu7zi

To continue to protect refugees amid the pandemic, many states adopted remote modalities to process asylum claims and renew documentation. @UNHCRJordan switched to remote registration last year, enabling 280,000+ asylum seekers to update their documentation despite the pandemic. https://t.co/53V6VP59fc

We are here in Jordan at Azraq Camp today, host to 37,000 Syrian refugees. I am so pleased to see #Covid-19 vaccinations for refugees continue as part of Jordan's national health campaign. To date, more than 2,700 refugees in camps have now received their vaccinations. https://t.co/UmPlBV8Hhv
