48 million people are internally displaced by conflict and violence. With a global deficit of peace, the plight of those already uprooted will become increasingly desperate. We echo the call for global action to prevent and resolve internal displacement.https://t.co/xP1n74TNJ6

Congratulations to this year's winner and the five regional winners of the UNHCR Nansen Refugee Award. This annual prize honours those who have gone above and beyond the call of duty to protect refugees, and forcibly displaced and stateless people. https://t.co/MFo83GE8zC

We must end these needless deaths and prioritise human life. Immediate access to those stranded at the Belarus-Poland border must be provided, so they can get lifesaving medical help, food, water and shelter, especially in light of the approaching winter. https://t.co/XHS4a8bArT

In El Salvador, I visited the support space “A tu lado”, which lends much needed support to internally displaced persons and those with urgent protection needs. I was impressed by the commitment and creativity of youth working for the prevention of violence in their communities. https://t.co/QzKQAPggyO

Documentation is vital for access to services. On the 60th anniversary of the ’61 Stateless Convention we remember that everyone is entitled to recognition of their identity. https://t.co/dclzr2EJOS

In Peten, in the north of Guatemala, asylum seekers from other parts of Central America have learned new skills as park rangers preserving the Mayan Biosphere. UNHCR is a proud partner in making this possible.@fundaecoguate @ACNURamericas https://t.co/BbBP5oc4SQ

I now continue to Guatemala where I look forward to learning more about how we can pursue regional solutions to these challenges. https://t.co/yBYOgqyPav https://t.co/osaf9uCA9u
