This ill-fated boat had started its journey end of November, at the same time as the one rescued in the Sri Lankan waters. Unconfirmed reports suggest the unseaworthy vessel had started to crack in early December before losing contact (2/3)

Tragic update: Since our statement yesterday, UNHCR has received unconfirmed reports of a separate boat - with 180 Rohingya, missing in the sea. Relatives have lost contact. Those last in touch presume all are dead. We hope against hope this is not the case (1/3)

In the world's most congested refugee camps in Bangladesh, a funding shortfall can have dire consequences for the 1million (approx.) Rohingya refugees hosted by the country. Stand #withrefugees https://t.co/L1uAANq97p

About 190 people are on the verge of perishing at sea, adrift somewhere between the Andaman Sea and the Bay of Bengal. They are at risk without adequate food and water if they are not urgently rescued and disembarked. Saving lives must be a priority. https://t.co/pSnMPDtqx4

For all genders, having an education can open doors and unlock dreams. No one should be denied this fundamental human right.#Afghanistan https://t.co/IkHBluS1YO

UNHCR is deeply dismayed about the continued worsening conditions of women + girls in Afghanistan. With further restrictions on access to work + education, they face heightened risks to their safety and well-being. Afghanistan cannot move forward without its women + girls. https://t.co/NHAhEixfiu

UNHCR urges all responsible States in the Asia Pacific region to rescue those refugees in distress and adrift on boats. Quick action is critical in order to save lives and to avoid a greater tragedy. https://t.co/ChH3tFu8jX

Millions of families in #Afghanistan are being forced to choose between food and warmth as they struggle to make ends meet in the midst of a harsh winter. International support is helping displaced families cope with rising needs. https://t.co/LeQTxpF2df

🔹Emergency support for flood affected communities 🔹Rebuilding schools, hospitals and shelters 🔹Building resilience of refugees + host communities These are some ways the generous support of €1 million to UNHCR by L’Oréal Group will help flood affected communities in Pakistan https://t.co/EZuBTGNtsB
