Abdikadir lives in Dadaab refugee camp. But that doesn't stop him from studying online for a Master's of Education degree from York University in Canada, 12,000 km away. https://t.co/rGortkSaoF

In the month of January, 4,000 people arrived to Greece in search of safety. That is double the number that arrived in the same period a year ago. UNHCR is calling on the international community to support Greece and share this responsibility. https://t.co/ZTFSGl7nUB https://t.co/LtTlDldlbM

Finding work is often a vital step for refugees as they embrace new lives in host countries. Many sectors in Germany have found opportunities for new arrivals while filling gaps in the country’s labour market. Majed's story is a good example. https://t.co/nOFXd2KD72

Could you imagine living without a bank account? This was the case for 1.4 million Afghan refugees living in Pakistan. That changed recently, helping many Afghans to build their business. https://t.co/5m1tr4KSxX

This week, @Refugees chief @FilippoGrandi visited Quetta, Pakistan to observe the 40th anniversary of the Afghan refugee influx. There he met Nadia and her father, who became a refugee 40 years ago. He has big dreams for a brighter future for his daughter. https://t.co/ZvWFvKTShA

The Moria camp for asylum-seekers on the Aegean islands is hosting 18,000 people - when it was originally intended for 2,200. A lack of action transferring asylum-seekers to the mainland means while more arrive, few are able to leave https://t.co/p9LCggsw38

Urgent action is needed to address the desperate situation of refugees and migrants in reception centres in the Aegean islands. “Conditions on the islands are shocking and shameful,” said @Refugees chief @FilippoGrandi. https://t.co/QTDNilZy8x
