After receiving eyeglasses, Sham & dozens of other displaced people in Syria can now see better. To ensure children receive eye care, the UN Refugee Agency has supported a community-led initiative that works with local volunteer doctors to provide eyeglasses to displaced people. https://t.co/1xu7SJlAjx

The event at Government House was held to thank both @Refugees and its national partner Australia for UNHCR for many years of service, and recognise what can be achieved when governments, civil society and the private sector work together for refugees. https://t.co/la8gRtbXUo

The UN Refugee Agency's Mid-Year #GlobalTrends update shows 103 million people worldwide have now been uprooted from their homes by conflict, persecution or disaster. We need stronger political effort to solve conflicts and prevent displacement. https://t.co/ncu6FEvolS

Some news worth celebrating. In the first half of 2022, 162,300 people were able to return home after being forced to flee. That's tens of thousands of people who are no longer refugees and now live safely in their home countries. https://t.co/0RC79T5AaE

Displacement is one of the most devastating human consequences of the climate crisis. Urgent action is needed. #COP27 https://t.co/PqU2fScbLn

Right now world leaders are discussing climate policy at #COP27 in Egypt. The climate crisis is happening now, driving displacement and making life harder for those already uprooted from their homes. They need certainty and protection. https://t.co/ww3CPE6fco

Jhonny, a refugee from Venezuela, won two medals in his school paralympics. He lives in a refugee shelter in the city of Boa Vista, Brazil, with his mum. Jhonny, who uses a wheelchair, is the first refugee with a disability at his school to win two bronze medals in swimming. https://t.co/PXlZchPLiZ
