News from Syria show no progress towards peace. Meanwhile, Jordan continues to host Syrian refugees fleeing war. I am in Amman, discussing with government+partners how to help Jordanians in this difficult task. @AymanHsafadi @RHCJO https://t.co/K2oejaiIQN

UNHCR supports the Ugandan government's plans to fight corruption in aid programmes. We are fully committed to good management of resources: a major responsibility to refugees in need, and to generous donors. https://t.co/yWPXC8lQQm

A message from the humanitarian frontlines: UNHCR team helps deliver a refugee baby at the Ugandan-Congolese border. There is hope even in the misery of flight and exile. https://t.co/e8Cz785D4R

The humanitarian crisis in Burundi needs more attention. The @UN needs US$391m to support Tanzania, Rwanda, Uganda & DRC, which are hosting over 400,000 Burundian refugees. @UNOCHA @UschiMuller https://t.co/h4bVN42Tk4

In Kakuma, Kenya, I spoke with Jacob and Simon, two South Sudanese boys who had just fled, barefooted, from Juba. If we don't reverse quickly the failing peace process, they and millions of other south Sudanese will lose hope. Then, it will be too late. https://t.co/pS1VAnttMX

The cost of war: 3.2 billion $ required in 2018 to care for South Sudanese in need - those in country and those who have fled as refugees to neighbouring countries. @UNReliefChief @UnonDg https://t.co/2JkypSPDIg

In Kakuma, Kenya, speaking to South Sudanese refugees with @UNReliefChief. Refugees are the result of a tragedy but can become actors of development for themselves+host communities. https://t.co/Lobmqt7uhC

Government, donors, UN+NGOs, humanitarian+ development organizations, joining together to support refugees+host communities: the Uganda refugee response model is strong and innovative. It deserves support. https://t.co/9VYhLBBxEg

Yousto and I are the same age. But he is a refugee in Uganda for the fourth time. Yet, he still smiles and says he wants to return to South Sudan, once again, when peace comes. Respect! https://t.co/ecRUpuG6BY
