Resettlement is UNHCR's life-saving program for refugees. We hope that the very disappointing resettlement opportunities in 2020 will be an anomaly. We appeal to countries to come forward with new places to help us save lives and protect those at risk. https://t.co/j08fwP69gc

The human cost of COVID-19 is profound. This global health crisis has disrupted the opportunities for refugee children to learn. Some, especially girls, may never return to school with long-term impacts on their lives and futures. #EducationDay https://t.co/AajtZ46A9H https://t.co/FglswMxyn2

Refugees must be included in national COVID-19 vaccination drives, on a par with citizens. Global and equitable access to vaccines is what will ultimately protect all our lives and stem the pandemic. https://t.co/E2k7vScBy7

Today is a momentous day as refugee vaccinations begin in Jordan. Jordan's inclusion of refugees and asylum seekers in all aspects of its COVID response and national vaccination campaign is a case study of how to protect refugee health rights. https://t.co/8IO4h2pVK0

We applaud Chad's exemplary willingness to keep its borders open and to protect those who seek refuge. https://t.co/3kkgvQVhIc

Chad, one of Africa's largest refugee host countries, has recently adopted its first ever asylum law, which will ensure nearly 480,000 refugees with fundamental protections and rights, including to work and to access healthcare, education and justice. https://t.co/Eds5XaHkUq

As countries start vaccinating their citizens, we urge them not to forget refugees and the millions of others displaced by war or left stateless.   They must be included in national vaccination plans.   https://t.co/CqGp1qvOWl

Armed groups are perpetuating horrific human rights abuses and attacks against civilians in the northern parts of Mozambique. Women and girls have been abducted and raped, families separated, homes looted and burned and half a million people are displaced. https://t.co/ub0uEPj9Io

Violence is a main reason why families in northern Central America are forced to flee their homes. By the end of 2019, over 800,000 people from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras sought protection within their countries or across international borders. https://t.co/NNI6X439RE
