We are deeply saddened by the tragic loss of life in the fires that struck Rohingya refugee camps in Cox’s Bazar yesterday. According to provisional reports, 15 refugees have died in the fire. Another 400 are still missing and 560 are injured. https://t.co/KT2WV1M8L3

RT @UNHumanRights: March 21 is the Intl Day to #FightRacism. #OnThisDay in 1960, police killed 69 people at a peaceful demonstration again…

Racism takes lives and perpetuates violence, inequality, oppression, marginalization, exclusion and injustice. We all have a responsibility to be actively anti-racist and #fightracism. Today on #IDERD, let us renew our commitment to listen, stand up, speak out, and combat racism. https://t.co/TaUOuiz6Lp

The people we talked to all want an end to the conflict and to return home. To support people affected by this crisis, we are scaling up our response and working with government authorities to better protect those forced to flee.

What is happening in the north of Mozambique is a humanitarian tragedy. Here in Ancuabe, Cabo Delgado, we met people whose family members were beheaded, children who are now orphaned. Those who've had to flee their homes are now without adequate food and shelter. https://t.co/hCkSLu2YMM

Displaced from home, many are without identity documents. This has serious consequences on their rights and access to life-saving assistance. A UNHCR-supported legal aid project is helping them with legal documentation. https://t.co/lTAAwMO7rI https://t.co/19ZC2tTNzE

We heard from women who were forced to flee their homes as their villages were attacked. They have now been displaced in Cabo Delgado for more than a year and unable to return home. https://t.co/0svC1yomZe

I am here in Mozambique this week with @RaoufMazou. Horrific violence against civilians in the northern parts of the country has forced almost 700,000 people to flee their homes. https://t.co/maUT8z2ERb

People fleeing war, violence and persecution must be granted access to asylum. This is a basic human right, guaranteed by international law, as recognized by 70 years of the Refugee Convention. https://t.co/uonCQZfuUR

Women have stood at the front lines of the Covid-19 crisis, bravely leading response and recovery efforts. On #InternationalWomensDay let us pay tribute to the leadership and contributions of women who are working to build a better and more equal future. https://t.co/i6dvk1ZIdE
