The situation in #Haiti is getting worse: violence and abuses are escalating; a humanitarian crisis is growing. Today I appealed to all States not to forcibly return Haitians to their country and to give them access to asylum procedures if requested. https://t.co/j0eRmkBQD9

I told the Security Council today that too many of the 103 million refugees and displaced people are “not only fading from media attention but are being failed by global inaction.” My full statement:👇🏻 https://t.co/29t7ymTzPa

Conflicts and climate change are forcing people from their homes, amidst a cost of living crisis most devastating for the poorest. Against this backdrop, I addressed the #UNGA Third Committee. We need solutions to help those forced to flee. UNHCR stands ready to help find them. https://t.co/MHcJX856we

Grateful to @UN_PGA Csaba Kőrösi for a good discussion on the importance of keeping all humanitarian and refugee crises in focus at the @UN General Assembly and in the international debate. We share the view that pursuing solutions to forced displacement is a key priority. https://t.co/oEKM09P8GT

Solidarity with the families of those killed and injured in the horrible attack in Mogadishu, to the people of Somalia and to President @HassanSMohamud. This cowardly act proves that more support to Somalia is needed as it strives to end violence and fight a devastating drought.

Every time we meet, the challenges are more daunting but we remain proud to be part of Team @UN, sparing no effort to convince our divided world — with patience and persistence — that only unity will allow us all to overcome and prosper. @antonioguterres https://t.co/xaJNoM2k4D

Honoured to be received by President @WilliamsRuto. UNHCR fully agrees with Kenya’s move towards a sustainable strategy to support refugees and host communities, as piloted in Kakuma. I agree with the President that this will require strong international development assistance. https://t.co/fLmRDyzVu3

Today marks the 35th time I observe #UNDay while serving the @UN. It has been tough, at times, to keep the faith in the organization’s ideals in a world where — too often — they are ignored or trampled upon. But I have never lost that faith, and am still proud to serve.

Dadaab has hosted Somali and other refugees for over 30 years. While pursuing more sustainable solutions with the Kenyan government, we must step up assistance to more than 50,000 new arrivals from Somalia, where they fled drought and violence. Donor support will be key. https://t.co/1jjuaamf2Z
