@UNReliefChief @UNHCRCanberra @UNOCHA @UNICCanberra "Thank you so much to all the Australian supporters of UNHCR for the $31 million you’ve raised over the past year, I know that will be feeding into operations on the ground in Syria and elsewhere - we also need national governments to show support" - @unreliefchief

@UNReliefChief @UNHCRCanberra @UNOCHA @UNICCanberra "In the past e.g. with the horrific cruelty in Aleppo, the way those sieges were resolved was by people fleeing and being bussed to Idlib and now there’s nowhere left to run to" - @unreliefchief

@UNReliefChief @UNHCRCanberra @UNOCHA @UNICCanberra "What I tell these decision makers is that the people caught up in these crises are exactly the same as me and you, and your children, except that life’s lottery has been kinder to some of us." - @unreliefchief

@UNReliefChief @UNHCRCanberra @UNOCHA @UNICCanberra "It’s my job to contain my emotions. I don’t think you can see these things and not feel them deeply. What we try to do is present the facts as clearly as we can, try to portray the situation of people who are suffering." @unreliefchief
