As Syria war enters 8th year, it is more urgent than ever to support countries hosting Syrian refugees - especially Lebanon, which hosts more refugees per capita than any other country, as discussed today with President #Aoun @LBpresidency + PM @saadhariri. https://t.co/E1VMaMMz3E

EU leadership in responding to refugee crises is crucial, in Europe and in the world. UNHCR is with the @EU_Commission in upholding the key European values of solidarity and cooperation. @FedericaMog https://t.co/rdaWwmRrk9

Discussion with African ambassadors in Geneva: impact of refugee crises is biggest in Africa. Political solutions are urgent. Innovative funding options are being explored+applied as we develop Global Compact on Refugees. No more business as usual. https://t.co/nIOz7A8iLb

As bitter cold wave grips Europe, many refugees+migrants join the homeless in sleeping outside. We must be grateful to NGOs, Red Cross, churches, volunteers & others for helping them in their hour of need. https://t.co/CZwHpWe9rz

123 more vulnerable refugees rescued & evacuated from Libya today. This brings the total number of refugees evacuated to Niger to 1,020. Only 25 have left to Europe so far. We need faster departures & more resettlement places urgently! https://t.co/klAqAHnzM4

At a time of renewed brutality against civilians, supporting Syrians inside their country and 5.5 million Syrian refugees in neighbouring countries is even more urgent. #UNHCR+@UNDP issuing appeal for $4.4 billion for refugees+communities hosting them in 2018. https://t.co/ajTlQ2S4zt

Razan, here with her husband & father, fled Syria to Lebanon where she got a Brazilian humanitarian visa. She now lives in São Paulo & has started her own food business. International cooperation = a refugee success story. https://t.co/McZqnbLeCQ
