Fighting in Eastern Congo is causing a new refugee emergency in Africa: 34,000 have fled this year to Uganda, of whom 22,000 last week alone, many through a dangerous lake crossing. https://t.co/WpeA2flW6v

Fully share Jordan's view that refugees must be given the dignity granted by education and work - but they are also a heavy responsibility, which host countries cannot carry alone. Jordan hosts refugees of over 40 nationalities. @PrimeMinistry @MoPIC_Jordan https://t.co/SJHULJglJT

My appeal to the @UN Security Council session on Myanmar today: It is time to put an end to this repeated, devastating cycle of violence, displacement & statelessness. https://t.co/gP1ffLDqZm

The solar power plant in @ZaatariCamp in Jordan (thanks to German+Czech funding) allows 80,000 Syrian refugees to have clean electricity 14 hrs/day - and to save UNHCR millions in energy costs. @KfW https://t.co/ylXz2hGRwo

Sawsan is a Syrian refugee in Jordan, employed with two daughters by a garment factory. The project is supported by government, UNHCR, @ilo. The company benefits from favourable export conditions. The local economy benefits from exports. Win-win for many. https://t.co/oK3AGNsmUM

We will miss the voice, and courage, of @Asma_Jahangir. May she rest in peace. https://t.co/pewS3QKY2G
