Special thanks to Germany which confirmed today that its contribution to UNHCR for 2017 will exceed half a billion US dollars. A very important act of humanitarian leadership. https://t.co/9yAPV74SUi

Governments made initial pledges of 857 million US dollars towards UNHCR’s activities for 2018+189 million for multi-year programmes, much higher than in previous years. Thank you and please sustain and expand the effort! https://t.co/VqMUzQ2k6T

At UNHCR’s main fundraising event, the “pledging conference”, I reminded states that for countries hosting large numbers of refugees, every day is a pledging day. They are the largest donors in support of refugees. https://t.co/cEwdBwwzJU

A year of no peace and much war is about to end. Refugee crises grow. Refugee needs grow as well. Today I asked donors to fund UNHCR’s activities for 2018. They are worth US$ 7.5 billion. https://t.co/flLm9dgz3S

Reminding Security Council member states that of the 40,000 refugee resettlement places which I asked for 15 countries along African-Mediterranean routes, only 10,500 have been offered so far. https://t.co/LDjtdBVdiF

My briefing to the Security Council today: “Too often measures pursued in relation to Mediterranean routes have centered on how to control, deter & exclude. Political, security, humanitarian, human rights & development investments are needed”. https://t.co/RWniaPUQBR
